Parallels Desktop Enterprise edition is not a supported version #485

After installing some updates this weekend, I find I cannot launch my existing vagrant-parallels virtual macine:

# robmee01@YFKPW136N2:~/work/dbf/DBF  (main *$|u+5) 10:28:07
# vagrant up
The provider 'parallels' that was requested to back the machine
'default' is reporting that it isn't usable on this system. The
reason is shown below:

Vagrant has detected that you have an edition of Parallels Desktop for Mac
installed that is not supported. Vagrant Parallels provider is compatible
only with Pro and Business editions of Parallels Desktop. Other editions
do not have command line functionality and can not be used with Vagrant.

Please upgrade your installation: https://parallels.com/desktop

This is suprising, as it was working on Friday and my license is still valid:

# robmee01@YFKPW136N2:~/work/dbf/DBF  (main *$|u+5) 10:28:14
# prlsrvctl info --license --json

Is there a way to override this check, as I am fairly certain my version of Parallels Desktop supports all the CLI features needed by vagrant-parallels?
