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

Resolved Webhost image on Azure not recognizing License

BBJohn

New Pleskian
I've just recently set up a new VM in Azure using the Plesk Onyx on Ubuntu 16.04 (WebHost) image, which is supposed to have a bundled license, but when I log into the plesk install, it says it is on a trial.

Any ideas?

@BBJohn

There are two "images" in Azure, one of them being a BYOL and the other being a "License included" Plesk.

Are you sure that you selected the Azure VM image that includes the Plesk license?

In addition, I would personally recommend that you create a custom VM and run the Plesk installer afterwards: this is a more flexible approach to installing Plesk in Azure.

The latter approach is almost identical to using an image, with the difference that you

- have the latest Azure VM images (read: they change more often than the Plesk images for Azure)
- have more flexibility in choosing the right license for your Plesk instance
- have more flexibility in choosing the right components for your Plesk instance (read: a custom Plesk installation often results in a more fast and/or light-weight installation)
- can secure the Azure VM before Plesk is being installed (read: this additional security measure is not undesirable)

and it will not really make a difference in the ease of setup (read: Plesk installer is easy and fast to work with) or the time spend on installing Plesk.

Hope the above helps a bit!
