License File Expired Solution

If your cPanel license has expired, your cPanel/WHM interface will become inaccessible. Here are the steps to resolve this issue.

Renewing Your License

First, renew your cPanel license through your hosting provider or directly from cPanel at http://store.cpanel.net/.

Updating the License File Manually

After renewing, you need to update the license file on your server. SSH to your server as root and run:

/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

This command will fetch the new license file from cPanel's servers and update your installation.

Alternative Update Method

If the above command doesn't work:

rm -f /usr/local/cpanel/cpanel.lisc
/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

Checking License Status

To verify your license status, run:

/usr/local/cpanel/cpanel.lisc

Or check the cPanel license verification page at http://www.cpanel.net/apps/verify/.
