How to synchronize locked subscriptions with their service plans

Question

A subscription is flagged with a blue lock saying:

The subscription is locked for synchronization: It is excluded from syncing with the service plan because the subscription parameters were customized.

In Plesk for Linux

1. Connect to a Plesk server via SSH.
2. Create a list with all locked subscriptions:
  
  # plesk db -sNe "select name from domains d INNER JOIN Subscriptions s ON d.id=s.object_id where d.webspace_id=0 AND s.object_type='domain' AND s.locked='true'" > /root/locked_subscriptions.txt
3. Unlock subscriptions from the generated list:
  
  # for domain in `cat /root/locked_subscriptions.txt`; do /usr/local/psa/bin/subscription --unlock-subscription $domain; done
4. Synchronize these subscriptions with their service plans:
  
  # for domain in `cat /root/locked_subscriptions.txt`; do /usr/local/psa/bin/subscription --sync-subscription $domain; done
5. (Optional) Verify that no unsynced subscriptions left. The following command should return empty output:
  
  # plesk db -sNe "select name from domains d INNER JOIN Subscriptions s ON d.id=s.object_id where d.webspace_id=0 AND s.object_type='domain' AND s.synchronized='false'"

In Plesk for Windows Server

1. Connect to the Plesk server via RDP.
2. Start a command prompt as an Administrator.
3. Create a list with all locked subscriptions:
  
  C:> plesk db -sNe "select name from domains d INNER JOIN Subscriptions s ON d.id=s.object_id where d.webspace_id=0 AND s.object_type='domain' AND s.locked='true'" > locked_subscriptions.txt
4. Unlock and synchronize subscriptions from the generated list:
  
  C:> for /f %i in (locked_subscriptions.txt) do plesk bin subscription --unlock-subscription %i & for /f %i in (locked_subscriptions.txt) do plesk bin subscription --sync-subscription %i
5. (Optional) Verify that no unsynced subscriptions left. The following command should return empty output:
  
  C:> plesk db -sNe "select name from domains d INNER JOIN Subscriptions s ON d.id=s.object_id where d.webspace_id=0 AND s.object_type='domain' AND s.synchronized='false'"
