Binding a License to an IP Address

To install a license on a Plesk server, bind the license to the IP
address of the corresponding server.

When Plesk connects to the Plesk licensing servers, the license is
installed on the Plesk server.

To bind a licenses to your server’s IP address for automatic license
deployment:

In Partner Central, go to the Manage Licenses tab and click the
license number.
In the menu, click More > Bind to IP address.
Specify the IP address you wand to bind the license to and IP binging
behavior (see the IP binding behavior section below).
In the Plesk user interface, click the Retrieve Keys button
(Tools & Settings > License Management).

If the IP address of the Plesk server is the same as the IP address
you specified in Partner Central, the license will be installed to
Plesk automatically.

Binding a License to Another IP Address

If the IP address of the server running the product has been changed,
you can specify the new IP address to renew the binding of your existing
license to it.

To bind a license to another IP address, go to the Manage Licenses
tab and click the license number. Then select More > Change
Binding to IP Addresses from the menu.

Removing a Binding to an IP Address

If you do not want your product to connect to the Plesk licensing
servers for automatic license installation, remove the existing binding
of your license to the product server’s IP address. To do this, go to
the Manage Licenses tab and click the license number. Then select
More > Remove Binding to IP Address from the menu.

IP Address Conflict Resolution

If the system already contains a license that is bound to the same IP
address as the new license that you are activating, you will see the
Reset option, which helps resolve this conflict. If you click
Reset, the new license will be successfully created, and the binding
of the existing license to the same IP address will be removed.
