Question is moving a plesk license without activation key possible by moving /etc/sw/ ?

[Linulex]

Server operating system version

CentOS 7.9 Almalinux 8.6

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.56 #2 (latest)

I need to upgrade a server for a client from centos 7 to alma 8. Everything stays the same: plesk version, ip address, everything ... The upgrade will be done by placing a new server online and moving everything with the plesk migration manager. After the migration, the ip addresses will be also moved to the new server.

It is possible to move the plesk license by moving /etc/sw ?


The old server will stay online for a week with a spare key of us and different ip address just in case the client needs to retrieve something that installed outside off plesk and the migration tool didn't moved that.

As far as I know, a machine ID is linked with the license, so probably it won't work right. Instead, you can get a temporary migration license.
