Installation FAQ

Where can I find information about obtaining a license for cPanel?

Information about cPanel license can be found in our cPanel products documentation.

Is it necessary to obtain license before I install cPanel? How can I obtain my actual IP Address?

You may install cPanel without a license, however it will not be usable until you obtain a license.

In order to issue you a test license, we need the public IP address of the machine that will run cPanel. You can get this address by running the following command if you have lynx installed.

• lynx -dump http://www.cpanel.net/showip.cgi

If you don't have lynx installed and are directly connected to the internet, you can use the following command:

• /sbin/ifconfig eth0 |grep inet | awk '{print $2}' | awk -F: '{print $2}'

How do I address this error: Content-type: text/plain The Cpanel Key Server said returned 500 Request Denied - No license entry found for your machine (X.X.X.X)! X-DES-KEY: generate error Invalid Lisc File?

Run the following script as root:

• /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
