Plesk comes with a number of free site applications that you can choose to provide to your customers or remove from the control panel script library (referred to as application vault). You can also obtain and install applications from third-party vendors through the application portal www.apsstandard.com.
You can set usage rules for any site application you add to the vault. For example, you can make a certain free application a commercial one that will be available to your customers only if you add it to their application pools under your conditions (for instance, after you received payment). When you change a free site application into a commercial one, it is withdrawn from the application pools of all clients. Now only you can add this application to your clients' application pools when needed. When you change a commercial application into a free one, it becomes free of charge for all clients.
The following table lists applications shipped with the Plesk application vault.
