Question

Which ASP.NET Core versions does Plesk support?

Answer

ASP.NET Core in Plesk for Windows Server

ASP.NET Core 10.0

ASP.NET Core 10.0 is supported starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.75.
ASP.NET Core 9.0

ASP.NET Core 9.0 is supported starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.66.
ASP.NET Core 8.0

ASP.NET Core 8.0 is supported starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.57.

Use Plesk Installer to install the component "Microsoft ASP.NET Core hosting features" and then upload your ASP.NET Core app manually into hosting using FTP, Visual Studio, etc.

Other ASP.NET Core versions are not shipped with Plesk but can be installed on a server with Plesk. Install the required version manually using the installer downloaded from the .NET Core website.

To list all installed ASP.NET versions, run the following command in the Command Prompt:

C:\> dotnet --info

It is possible to install ASP.NET Core by using the extension .NET Toolkit starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.45.

Note: In general, the extension installs the latest available version. However, it is possible to install and use older versions manually by following the official instructions.
