  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

New Pleskian
Plesk 9.3 was installed on new server (old server with Plesk was decomissioned months ago). New key was emailed 2010-04-01 upon renewal of SUS.

When I attempt to upload this license key, I get the following error message : Error: Invalid key: Unknown key format

Under License Management, Retrieve Keys is grayed out.

What is up?
 
What is format of key - zip, xml or something else?
Try to install it with

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/keymng --install --source-file <source path>

Source file does not contain Plesk key

Can you help me about?

Alessandra.
 
Plesk license key provided by Key Administrator has format like PLSK00XXXX.sh but not plesk.key
Are you sure that it is Plesk license key?
 
I tried to rename file like format PLSK.XXXXXXXX.sh ..but I have got egual error.
I think that it is corret file:

$ head -n 35 plesk.key
