What Happens When You Upgrade or Migrate to Panel 10

When you upgrade or migrate to Panel 10, accounts, domains, users, and domain templates are transformed according to the following schemes:

* Reseller accounts are transferred without changes, and resources are allocated to them by means of custom subscription, which are not bound to plans.

* Client accounts become customer accounts, and after upgrade or migration is finished, you need to perform either of the following operations to make sure that the accounts fit in the new business model:
o Redistribute former clients’ resources among the subscriptions belonging to them.
o Convert customers to resellers and assign the existing subscriptions to them. This can be done if the customer accounts did not belong to a reseller before upgrade or migration.

* Domains are converted to individual subscriptions. The subscriptions are assigned to the administrator, resellers, or customers, depending on whom the former domains belonged to.
* Domain administrator accounts are converted to user accounts, which are assigned to the customers who own the corresponding domains.
* Domain templates belonging to the server administrator and resellers are converted to hosting plans.
* Reseller templates are converted to reseller plans.

How to disable news in SWsoft Plesk panel

Generally Plesk News frame can be closed with Close the News button in the bottom of the frame, and this frame will not be shown anymore in the next logins to Plesk interface.

The option to hide news is independent for every Plesk account and there are no option to close news server-wide for all accounts. If it is needed to close news for accounts without logging into panel, the changes like below may be done in Plesk database, for example the changes may be done by custom script which will be called using Even Manager feature in Plesk.

# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow ` psa

mysql> INSERT INTO misc VALUES (’admin_news_dismissed’,3);
