Upgrading Plesk Using Administrator GUI

This is the quickest and easiest way to upgrade Plesk.

Note: You can upgrade to Plesk Obsidian from Plesk Onyx 17.0 and later.
See if your OS is supported.
If you use Plesk 12.5 or earlier, upgrade to Plesk Onyx first.

Click Tools & Settings, then click Updates and Upgrades.

You can see the currently installed Plesk version, as well as the
latest available Plesk version, under “Products summary”.
(Optional) If you want to change the update settings or the
Installer interface language, click Updates source and installation
settings (see “Changing the upgrade settings” below).
Click Install or Upgrade Product. If the option is grayed out,
one of the following is probably true:
1. You are already running the latest Plesk version (check the
  installed Plesk version to confirm).
2. The selected release tier is not yet available (see “Selecting a
  different release tier” below).
3. The OS on the server is not compatible with the latest Plesk
  release (e.g. you cannot upgrade to Plesk Obsidian if the OS on the
  server is 32-bit).
  See the list of all supported OSes.
4. You are installing from a custom repository in which the latest
  Plesk version is not available. Try selecting the official Plesk
  Updates server as the source (see “Changing the upgrade settings”
  below).
Select the Plesk version to which you want to upgrade from the menu,
then click Continue to begin the upgrade.
