What this means under a SharedLicense license

Your SharedLicense license itself is not affected — this is a change in Plesk software, not in licensing. Apply it on every affected server: plesk installer --select-release-current --update-installed. Licenses keep working through updates; nothing needs re-issuing or re-activating.
