Hi,
i have the same issue in ONYX, will it apply?
Noam
@ Noam, yes it will work for Onyx too, but make sure that you use the correct key in correct environment.
If I do this
root@spiderhost:~# ls -al $PRODUCT_ROOT_D/admin/sbin/*wrapper
ls: cannot access '/admin/sbin/*wrapper': No such file or directory
I am unable to see any such file or directory.
I am continuously getting the Plesk license error even if my license and server both are legitimate.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
