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.
