Question

Plesk license key was purchased with CloudLinux key.

Does Plesk register CloudLinux key on a server automatically?

Answer

The behavior depends on whether CloudLinux license was purchased after November 15, 2022 with new CloudLinux OS extension in Plesk:

For CloudLinux license purchased with new CloudLinux OS extension

Yes, CloudLinux license is registered automatically and no user-action is required.

For CloudLinux license not purchased with new CloudLinux OS extension

No, CloudLinux license key must be registered manually.

Perform the following steps to register your server with CloudLinux Network using your activation key:

  1. Connect to the Plesk server via SSH.

  2. Run the following commands:

    # yum install rhn-setup --enablerepo=cloudlinux-base
    # /usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks --activationkey=<activation key> --force

    Note: Activation key looks like "1231-2b48feedf5b5a0e0609ae028d9275c93"

    For IP-based license:

    # sh cldeploy -i
    # reboot

Note: The information about manual CloudLinux OS license activation can also be found in CloudLinux documentation at https://docs.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux_installation/#license-activation
