Get a 9.0 key onto a 8.6 server?

[Spazholio@]

I have recently leased a v9.0 license from 4PSA since my SUS ran out on my key from Parallels. I want to install it on my 8.6.0 box in order to perform the upgrade, but it won't let me. Is there any way I can do this? Command-line, web interface, voodoo - I don't care. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

It is impossible to install Plesk 9.0 license key on 8.6 version.
I suppose you can request a temporary license key for Plesk 8.6 from Parallels team, as far as I know it should be allowed to upgrade Plesk with this license key. Then install your permanent license key on Plesk 9.0.

I've since realized this and provisioned a new server. Thanks anyway. Migrating all the users over using manual pleskrestore hacks is awfully fun though, lemme tell you!
