System information

Parallels Mac Management Features

• Display in Software Center and only show notifications for computer restarts — This

option is similar to the Display in Software Center and show all notifications option

(above) with one exception: the installer will run in the background, so the user will have no

control over the installation process. The user will still be given a choice to install the

application or to postpone the installation, and to restart or postpone restarting the Mac if it

is required.

• Hide in Software Center and all notifications — The user will NOT be informed that the

application is available for installation. The installation will be performed completely silently

and transparently to the user. The application will NOT be added to Application Portal. If the

installation requires Mac restart, the user will be asked to restart it and will be given an

option to postpone restarting.

13 Complete the wizard using the default values and close it when done.

Installing Application on a Mac

When the application becomes available for installation on a Mac, the following will happen

depending on the installation type deployment configuration options.

Installation is Optional

If the application is not required (the Deploy Software Wizard | Deployment Settings | Purpose

is specified as Available), a dialog will be displayed to the user describing the application and

providing the following choices:

• Show in Application Portal — Clicking this button will open Application Portal where the user

can view the application and install it if desired.

• Install now — Clicking this button will download the application and will run the application

installer. The installer GUI will be displayed or hidden depending on the setting specified on the

User Experience page of the Deploy Software Wizard.

• Close — Clicking this button will close the dialog. The user will be able to install the application

later from Application Portal.

Installation is Required

If the application is required (the Deploy Software Wizard | Deployment Settings | Purpose is

specified as Required) and an interactive installation type was specified, a dialog will be displayed

to the user with the following options:

• Postpone — This button allows to postpone the installation. The Remind me in drop-down list

allows to select the postponement period.

Scheduling page), the following rules apply:
