- Download the trial version of Parallels 8.
- Mount the dmg file of Parallels 8.
- Open terminal, go to the mounted dmg, for example in my system I did like this:
$ cd /Volumes/Parallels\ Desktop\ 8/
- Copy the iso file of the Parallel Tools to my home directory (or any directory), example:
$ cp ./Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/Tools/prl-tools-lin.iso ~/
- Mount the iso from the Ubuntu 12.10, and upgrade the Parallels Tools from Ubuntu 12.10 terminal, example:
$ cd /media/{your-Ubuntu-user}/Parallels\ Tools $ sudo ./install
