Spam whitelist limited to 100 addresses in Plesk Control Panel

By default Plesk only allows you to have 100 email addresses listed in your whitelist and blacklists.

In Plesk CP user can see how many addresses he can add into list(100 minus already added quantity of addresses). If before upgrade to 8.1 (this limit doesn’t exists in earlier version) there were added more than 100 addresses user will see negative number.

Reset the license for Ensim Pro Control Panel Linux

Ensim Pro Control Panel license is tied to a MAC-address. Therefore, when you change your network card, Ensim does not recognize the license as valid anymore.

Once this is done, we need to contact support to reset the license.
