I want to buy a Windows Plesk Server (Standard edition) but the sales team was unable to completly answer my question and provide a solution to my problem.
I want to setup MS SQL on that server by providing my own MS SQL licence but according to plesk, I need to buy an Addon to enable MS SQL on the server. This addon cost 99 USD ( http://www.sw-soft.com/en/buyonline/plesk7win/ >> see MS SQL support ).
Is this addon provided by EV1 ? if not, can I get it from Plesk directly assuming that the Plesk licence is provided by EV1 ?
To better clarify that issue, I'm including the chat transcript with Ev1 sales team:
[09:34:29] Michelle C : Hello Reda. Welcome to EV1 Servers
[09:34:33] Michelle C : How can I help you?
[09:34:36] Reda : On Plesk Website, it says that I need to buy an
addon to support MS SQL
[09:34:50] Reda :

[09:35:18] Reda : I don't understand that. Is that Addon provided by
EV1 ?
[09:36:25] Michelle C : our servers all come with my sql
[09:36:35] Michelle C : there all set up ready to go
[09:36:50] Reda : Im talking about MS SQL Server not MysQL
[09:38:34] Michelle C : okay one moment
[09:42:24] Michelle C : MS SQL - is something that we currently do
not offer
[09:43:25] Michelle C : not sure if you can purchase a addon with
the license we offer but I know its something we dont offer
[09:43:44] Reda : Im not talking about the SQL Licence; I can
provide my own. Im talking about this addon that must be provided by
Plesk
[09:44:13] Reda : would you please notify the management for that
issue and send me back an email ?
[09:44:27] Michelle C : Im currently asking my manager
[09:45:36] Michelle C : he stated that we do not offer this - hes
doesnt know if you would need a "addon" Ive let him view the link you
gave me
[09:46:12] Reda : so who can then answer ?
[09:50:44] Michelle C : We do not provide any addons.. was that not
your question?
[09:50:57] Reda : ok
Thanks.
