thanks, i have opened a support ticket, i will try to update with the solution once i get it.
 
well things are solved!
what happened is that i was using trial key after the fresh install, and then when i bought the key from plesk and updated it there were still some trial keys in the "additional keys" section that were belong to the extensions that came with the trial. so in order to make things work i had to delete them.

about the cloning it appears that there is a full documentation from plesk:
windows: Preparing Plesk for Windows for Cloning
Linux: Preparing Plesk for Linux for Cloning
good luck
Noam
