Installation FAQ

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

Read our page about purchasing cPanel products.

Is it necessary to obtain license before installing cPanel and 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 you plan on running cPanel on.

You can get this address by running the below 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 below command:

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

I've encountered 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?

• /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
