Because, as I already said, the Parallels Desktop / Fusion virtual
computer is the "Original Equipment" from the licensed "manufacturer",
Parallels / VMWare. It's a bundle deal, same as having the OEM version
come with a real computer. You still aren't meant to install that
version on any other device or virtualisation / emulation product. It's
ONLY FOR USE WITH THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.

Plus, as you've just said, they have a *licence* to bundle it, which is
what I said all along.

Anyone selling OEM products *SEPARATELY* or installing that software on
other equipment is breaking the OEM agreement, and in some places that
is illegal (which is why it's often dodgey Asian webstores that sell
OEM products separately).

Good grief! I know words with more than one syllable are difficult for
most Internet users to understand since they switch their brains off
when turning on the modem, but it ain't exactly rocket science. 

OEM = ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER, 
ie. the manufacturer licensed to bundle the OEM software with their
equipment.   :-\
