  • 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.

Resolved License keys update error

Oliver Marugg

Basic Pleskian
Hi
I have a fully and correctly licensed Web Host Plesk 17.0.17 U7.
Since this morning my plesk mentions that it is not possible to update the keys (valid until today), here some logentries out of /var/log/plesk/panel.log.
Code:

I tried several time, also with some hours interval.
Any ideas? Many thanks Oliver
 
Hi Oliver Marugg,

pls. keep in mind, that it might be a good idea to increase the log - level for your Plesk Control Panel, in order to get a more verbose output in your panel - logs:



In addition, you are able to run the "key-update" - command as well over the command line, with the example command:

/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f UpdateKeys


Consider as well to use:

plesk installer --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base

Hi @Oliver Marugg ,
Be careful with debug mode. A lot of lines will be written to panel.log and this is not good for performance.
It seems to me your Plesk instance is OK. We are investigating this issue at our key servers... I'll update status of it tomorrow.
Thank you for reporting!
 
Code:
All logfiles are from/var/log/plesk/panel.log with debug level 7

@Igor Losev
Now I have the same behaviour, but no more with the plesk main license, instead with additional licenses like ext-dnssec, ext-docker, ext-multiserver. I have Web Host edition with additional Hosting pack and the licence keys are in.
