  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question How to remove Plesk products from our clients panels?

Dave W

Regular Pleskian
Server operating system version
All
Plesk version and microupdate number
Plesk Obsidian 18.0.47.
How can I remove Plesk sales objects from a default install of the panel?

For example:-

Plesk trying to sell its monitoring360 service to our clients.
Plesk selling SSL certificates to our clients.
Plesk selling SEO to our clients
Plesk selling Antivirus to our clients?

Or do I have to create a custom install script?

Can this all be done from a custom panel.ini?

Any others I should remove?
 
There are some panel.ini settings, e.g.

Code:
[facebook]
showLikeLink=off

[rating]
enabled=off

[promos]
enabled=off

[aps]
serverAppsPromoEnabled = off

pleskFooter = false

Maybe this page can also help:
 
Hi Peter,

And for the others a custom install or remove the default extensions?

Hi Dave,

Do you have examples of these sales objects? I've never seen them on our servers.
 
Same panel.ini on both servers;

Code:
cat  panel.ini |grep -v ^\;

Under Websites & Domains >> SSL/TLS Certificate in client panel I get this on one server;
ssl.JPG

How do I block this?

Also since we are paying a license for Plesk then shouldn't advertising of third party products be disabled by default?

So it comes with a Sectigo SSL extension installed now?

Can we not have third party extensions installed automatically with the control panel please, we pay enough for it.

How do I block this?

It's been a while since I've tried to solve this myself. I went with the settings listed below to (+ uninstalling Sectigo SSL extension). Annoyingly there seems to be no value for hiddenTLDsPaidProducts that hides the buying option for all TLD's.

Code:
[ext-sslit]
showGetMoreCertificatesLink = false
hiddenTLDsPaidProducts = nl,be,de,fr,co.uk,es,pr,it,pl,dk,se,eu,com,net,org,info,xyz,io

Another thing that frustrates me is that there seems be no coherent way of hiding the buying option. I've got some older servers on which the buying option just never shows (like it should). I never done anything (that I can remember at least) to hide/remove the buying option of SSL certificates on these older servers. But on newer server you'll need the hiddenTLDsPaidProducts and showGetMoreCertificatesLink.
