I can't believe the software downloaded from the AppStore isn't the full version?
I believe a lot of macOS users download software know AppStore, but there may be one thing you do not know: some of the software in there may not be the full version. That is to say, some of the software you paid for in there is missing some of the features. I was shocked to learn that some of the features of the software you paid for may not be available, even though you paid the same price.
How did this happen? I was surprised to find this message on some platforms, and then I followed the message to the official website of the software, and there are indeed some features that cannot be used. You can check the official website for details:https://kb.parallels.com/123796 This is a very famous virtualization software vendor, and the above mentioned some differences between the AppStore version and the standard version. I usually download software from the official website, then consider downloading from a third-party website, and then download from the AppStore when I can't find it, so it doesn't affect me personally. However, for users who rely heavily on AppStore, there will be some impacts, and you may find that some functions are not available.
Although there is found such a defect, but from the point of view of security, if there is no special requirements, it is recommended that the software is still downloaded from the AppStore above. After all, the software here have gone through security checks, so install from here to rest assured, as for some functionality of the missing, this is relatively few, I think it will not affect the use of the experience.
In fact, there are not a lot of software on the AppStore, you still have to download some software from the official website, which is not listed on the AppStore. In addition, some software also scores the region, for example, Microsoft Remote Desktop software you have to switch the account to the U.S. region in order to search out, it is really more troublesome.
My personal advice: download software from the official website, the official website really can not download, then go to the AppStore download, and finally the third-party site to download. My personal use is to prioritize the official website to download the connection.
