Installation guide
You can install ispmanager on a dedicated server or virtual machine created on hypervisor-based virtualization or OVZ container virtualization. Your server must meet the requirements described in the article Server requirements. This article walks you through the steps you need to perform to install ispmanager.
License activation
License types are described in the article Types of licences.
A trial license needs to be activated in your ispmanager account after you have installed ispmanager on your server. You do not need to order a license.
If you want to use a commercial version you first need to purchase the license. During the purchase, specify the public IP address of the server where the control panel will be installed.
If the server does not run behind the NAT and an IP address is assigned to its network interface, the ispmanager license will be activated automatically during the installation. For more information, please see the article License IP address.
