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 When you change a free site application into a commercial one, it is withdrawn from the application pools of all clients.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.
All free of charge open source application packages are automatically added to application pools of all clients after installation of Plesk.
To view the information about the application packages you have in the vault:
.All application packages stored in the vault are listed in the Site Application Packages group.
There are two icons next to the application name. The left icon denotes the following:
- the application is shown in the list of applications available for installation.
- the application is hidden from the list of applications available for installation.
The icon in the right column denotes the site application usage rules you defined:
- free of charge, automatically added to the application pools of all clients.
- commercial application, can be added to a client application pool only by you under certain conditions.
The Clients column shows the number of users using the site application.
