Using a Plesk license
A Plesk license purchased through Aruba Cloud can only be used on a single server (instance/IP) within the Aruba Cloud infrastructure. You cannot use it on multiple servers or on external infrastructures.
For more information, see the
official Plesk legal terms.

- all Plesk operational and management features are disabled;
- you will no longer be able to use the administration and configuration tools;
