Starting on October 19, 2021, we will enable single-sign-on for our Plesk Support Center to provide a seamless login/account experience. This implies that you’ll be able to use a single account across any of our web-facing properties.
To be prepared for this change and to avoid the need to register during your next ticket submission after the change, we encourage you to create an account here before October 19 using the same email address as your current Zendesk login (support account). It’s essential that you use the same email address on our support center to ensure that your tickets stay attached to the same account. You will continue to use ZenDesk authentication until we switch over to single-sign-on on October 19th.

Question

How to install a Plesk license?

Answer

Plesk license can be installed using an activation code (a combination of numbers and letters XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX) or a license key file (a .zip file that contains an .xml file inside).

 

Installing a Plesk license via Plesk interface

 

Installing a Plesk license using an activation code

 

  1. Go to Tools & Settings > License Management > click Install Key.

    Note: To install an additional purchased license (for Docker, Acronis, etc.), just click the Retrieve Keys button. If the purchased license was not retrieved, switch to the Additional License Keys and click Install key to install it manually.

Installing a Plesk license using a license key file

 

By default, license file upload is disabled in Plesk Onyx 17.8 and later versions. If you need the ability to install Plesk license keys and additional license keys by uploading a license key file, see this documentation page to enable it.

  1. Go to Tools & Settings > License Management > click Install Key.

  2. Choose Upload a license key file.

  3. Click Browse... and specify the path to a .zip key file. Click OK.

 

Installing a Plesk license via a command-line interface

 

  1. Connect to a Plesk server via SSH (Linux) / RDP (Windows Server).

  2. Use the command below (on Windows Server, start a command prompt as an administrator):

    • to install a license using an activation code

      MYSQL_LIN: plesk bin license -i XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX

    • to install a license using a license key file

      MYSQL_LIN: plesk bin license -i /path/to/PLSK.XXXXXXXX.XXXX.xml
