2. All sites from Plesk Sitebuilder 4.5 can be migrated to WPB using the Migration tool .

   * Upgrade Plesk Sitebuilder to the latest version (4.5.5 for Windows or 4.5.9 for Linux);
   * Install all updates and update Design Templates;
   * Republish all content on the site you want to import/migrate.
