Restore License Key from plesk backup?

[Tormente]

I know the command is there, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out,
My plesk server freaked out and booted back up with a demo/expired key (WTF???),
so I'm trying to restore JUST the key... any way of doing this?
I have backups, altho am not sure if I have the latest backup after I upgraded to 8.3.0 (if that matters?), but can anyone give me the exact command to extract my key?

It's in the docs.

the docs does mention the restore key feature, yes... but I can't seem to figure out the way I'm supposed to use it. everything I try fails. I asked "can anyone give me the exact command to extract my key?"

But that's now irrelevant as I figured out what went wrong and fixed it.

Now my question is, how do I back up my key if I don't have the original that Plesk/SWSoft/Parallels sent me?

Hi,

Try /plesk_installation_directory/bin/pleskrestore --restore <backup file name> -license

BTW, you can check Plesk database for the key history. check the table 'key_history', there you can find all your keys. Then you can contact Parallels sales and ask them to send your key.
