temporary solution
-
Connect to Plesk server via SSH.
-
Fix the permissions:
# chmod 2770 /etc/sw/keys/
# chown root:swkey-data /etc/sw/keys/ -
If grsecurity is used, make
psaadma member ofprocreadgroup:# usermod -a -G procread psaadm
-
Back up the file
/etc/sw/keys/registry.xml:# mv /etc/sw/keys/registry.xml /etc/sw/keys/registry.xml.bak

Regenerate the file by pressing Retrieve Keys in Tools & Settings > Licence Management.
Note: If it did not help, reinstall the license key at Tools & Settings > Licence Management > Install Key.
