Applicable to:

Symptoms
-
License is in grace period even though it was updated/renewed correctly on a licensing server side:
PLESK_WARN: Warning: You are currently operating within the grace period of your product license. To update your product license, select the Retrieve Keys option on the License Management page.
-
While trying to retrieve/install keys at Plesk > Tools & Settings > License Management (Plesk > Tools & Settings > Server information) the page loads forever until it fails with:
CONFIG_TEXT: 504 Gateway Timeout
-
The same error may appear when trying to log into Plesk.
-
After enabling debug, in
/var/log/plesk/panel.logit can be seen that the license update stops on the following step:CONFIG_TEXT: DEBUG [util_exec] [5af1e640d2247] Starting: sysinfo df-full, stdin:

The following
df (disk free)processes can be found:# ps aux | grep df

df -h command hangs
Cause
The "df" utility processes are hung (for example due to bug in CentOS / RedHat 7.5 in CentOS 7.5, however Ubuntu operating system might be affected too) causing Plesk services to hang too.
The issue is also registered as Plesk bug PPPM-8614 which is planned to be fixed in future product updates.
Resolution
Note: it is not recommended to kill the stuck df processes.
Reboot the server to fix df command related issue. All Plesk services will work correctly when df command can be executed normally.

Hello @Haessler!
Glad to hear that the article helped.
AH, this was exactly my problem: df hung. I (bloody new!) followed the description, switched on debug, restarted my server, got my licence key and everything is fine now. Ulrike
