Upgrading Parallels Plesk Panel With Virtuozzo Templates Under PBAs (HSPc)

To upgrade Parallels Plesk Panel in a Parallels Virtuozzo Container created by a hosting plan such as Virtuozzo Container or Plesk Virtual Node, you need to upgrade this hosting plan. Upgrade of a hosting plan depends on whether a Parallels Plesk Panel license is included into it.

To upgrade Plesk Virtual Node or Virtuozzo Container hosting plan that doesn't include a Parallels Plesk Panel license:

1. Go to Top > Billing Director > Product Manager > Hosting Plans and select the hosting plan which was used for creating the VPS you want to upgrade.
2. On the General Settings tab, click Clone to create a clone of the hosting plan.
3. On the Applications tab of the clone hosting plan, add templates for a new version of Parallels Plesk Panel. To upgrade the product during the hosting plan upgrade, switch on the core Parallels Plesk Panel template, to which you will upgrade.

   Important: Do not delete old Parallels Plesk Panel templates. If you delete the old templates and upgrade to this hosting plan, your previous version of Parallels Plesk Panel will be deleted.

   Note: If you use standard templates, in the new hosting plan switch on all the templates of the new version corresponding to switched on templates of the old version.

4. Update other hosting plan settings if required.
