Monterey with OCLP 1.3.0 on iMac 11,1 and Parallels not running

Hi, is this the right place to ask for OCLP support?

I decided to go with Monterey, since I am reading that most things work for my 27" iMac 11,1 which is still a fully capable machine, except from just a bit older on hardware. Installed Monterey using OCLP 1.3.0 and indeed most things seem to be working fine.

I am having issues with Parallels, however. Running a v.11 installation, or installing any newer versions doesn't seem to work. I always get a crash on prl_client_app, which is the same one that launches for installation, too.

Any hints?
