Dear Jasper,
sorry for having you wait so long. After consulting one of my colleagues, it turned out that we made a change to our update servers.
The change affects users of the Plesk-specific variants of Dr.Web products (like you) by denying them updates.
Some details about the change:
* Installed Dr.Web updater scripts have to authenticate themself with the MD5 hash of their Dr.Web license key, which the update server validates against our license DB.
* The Plesk-specific variants of Dr.Web products have a special plesk.key and no regular drweb32.key. Thus, your updater can't present a proper MD5 hash and gets denied.
Anyway, as it's about a Plesk-specific variant, I am obligated to request you to forward this issue to Parallel's Plesk support.
Kind regards,
Karl Schmitz
