Managing Licenses

After you buy a license, you should retrieve the license
information and activate your license.

To perform operations on a license, go to the Manage Licenses tab,
click the license number in the License number column and select the
corresponding options in the menu. If the license is not intended for
Plesk, we recommend the following order of operations.

If the product supports activation with an activation code:

1. Buy a license in Partner Central (Buy New License).
2. Retrieve the activation code from Partner Central (Retrieve
   License > Show Activation Code).
3. Enter the activation code in your product. The license will be
   automatically bound to the product GUID.

If the product does not support activation with an activation code or
cannot connect to Plesk licensing servers:

1. Buy a license in Partner Central (Buy New License).
2. Activate the license in Partner Central (Activate). The license
   will be bound to the product GUID.
3. Retrieve the XML file with license information from Partner Central
   (Retrieve License > Download License).
4. Download the XML file to your product.

For details on how to perform these operations in Partner Central GUI,
see Activating a License.

License Deployment in Plesk

One of the products, Plesk, supports automatic deployment of licenses.
To use this feature, you should bind the license to the IP
address of the server where Plesk is installed. The order
of operations is as follows:

1. Buy a license for Plesk in Partner Central (Buy New License).
2. Specify the IP address of the Plesk server (Bind to IP address).
3. In the Plesk user interface, click the Retrieve Keys button
   (Tools & Settings > License Management).

Other operations you can perform on licenses include
upgrading, cloning, and
termination.
