Question
How to upgrade to the new Power and Hosting Packs 2023?
Answer
On May 29th, 2023, we included Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers for 5 mailboxes in our Plesk Power and Hosting packs without additional cost. This solution is an alternative to the existing Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers for 5 mailboxes.
Note: only one email antivirus can be enabled in Plesk at a time
Note:
1. If a Power/Hosting Pack license was created before March 19, 2020, you should terminate that license and create a new Power Pack license to have Sophos in the Power Pack license included .
2. If a Power/Hosting Pack license was created after March 19, 2020, and before May 29, 2023, you should upgrade that license to have Sophos included in the Power Pack license.
3. If a Power/Hosting Pack license was created after May 29, 2023, Sophos is already included.
