How hard is it to change from a Plesk LINUX OS license over to a Plesk WINDOWS OS license?

What steps are needed?

Ask them why they cannot do this for you.

Is there a technical or Microsoft licensing reason? Or is just about creaming more money off you? I suspect the latter. And yet another short-sited business decision from SWsoft.

ok i got a answer

i ask this

Dear Peter Domke

Could you please explain better to me "Why is it not possible" To "switch My Windows Key to a Linux key".
I dont think your answer explain why not!! Our why at all.

As i have read in you forum it sounds like its not a problem to switch from Linux to Windows key

So Is there a technical or Microsoft licensing reason???????

A clear explanation why not would be nice.

Also so we now if we gonna stick to plesk or not on our next server setup.

This is the answer i got to my question.

Hello,

Plesk Linux and Plesk Windows are to different licenses, with two different license keys. If we would "switch", you would have two licenses and paid for only one.

There is also a big note online about that fact:

http://www.swsoft.com/en/buyonline/plesk82/

"NOTE: Plesk 8.2 for Linux/Unix license purchases are only for use on Plesk (8.0 - 8.2) for Linux/Unix servers and are not able to be used or transferred to Plesk for Windows servers."

looks like to many have wanted to switch

But still they said it not possible to switch from a Linux to a windows in the txt they say none about the other way

But ok story ends here

Only thing i forgot to ask is if a plesk key is personal or could be handed over to another
