Warn HN: Parallels 11 neuters prlctl binary
I have been using Parallels 9 and 10 and recently upgraded to Parallels 11.
Previously, the "prlctl" binary always worked from Mac and I used it to automate builds on Windows, to execute Windows binaries and start and stop VMs programmatically.
Now, using prlctl to do anything gives:
"The command is available only in Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro or Business Edition."
Parallels have neutered the prlctl binary, in order to introduce a new more expensive version of Parallels which has the binary.
