Error

Plesk periodically needs to contact the licensing server to update its licensing information. If for some reason it fails to do so, you might see an error similar to this:

Warning: You are currently operating within the grace period of your product license. To update your product license, select the Retrieve Keys option on the License Management page.

Solution

1. First, navigate to the Server tab.
