  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Resolved Activation issue, no properly formed ip address

swiftbash

New Pleskian
Hello,

I recently installed a plesk obsidian trial key for web host edition on my VMware workstation and activated just fine.

After a while, I decided to install it on my physical hardware. And when I tried to use the other trial key, it failed with "No Properly Formed IP Addresses (Error code 2)" error. I have disabled the firewall, tried to activate from command line and all with no luck. I can properly telnet and nslookup ka.plesk.com with no problem, so I don't know whats happening.

Here some information that may help:

OS: Windows Server 2019 Datacenter
OS for the VM: Same as physical machine
Debug Mode: Disabled.

According to Software Requirements for Plesk Obsidian, a static IP address should be configured on the server before installing Plesk for Windows. If Plesk is installed before assigning a static IP address to a network adapter, it can cause various issues and will inevitably create configuration conflicts.
 
  1. Press Start > enter Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.
  2. Click Outbound Rules > New Rule..., select Port, 5224, Allow the connection, and apply it to all profiles.
