Question
How to upgrade Plesk to the next release?
Answer
Plesk can be upgraded either via a browser or a command-line interface directly on the Plesk server.
During the upgrade process:
- Plesk will be unavailable
- Websites will stay online
Note: It is recommended to create a full server backup before continuing with an upgrade.
For more information about preparing a Plesk server to an upgrade, see Plesk Upgrade Guide.

What can I do if there's no update available?
@Alessandro Marengo
Hello!
Could you specify which version is currently installed?
Generally, please try to start Plesk Installer with the parameter --all-versions, for example:
"%plesk_bin%"\ai.exe --console --all-versions
Thanks Ivan for your reply.
What if, instead of using command line, I'd like to use Plesk Updates option?
@Alessandro, this option is available only in CLI version of Plesk installer. If you cannot see the desired version for the upgrade, it may mean that your OS does not meet all requirements.
