Renew a canceled or expired cPanel license

You can renew a canceled or expired cPanel license in the cPanel Store’s Manage Licenses interface.

Note:

Before renewing a canceled or expired cPanel license, you must log in to your cPanel Store account.

Licenses that expired less than 30 days ago

If your license expired or was canceled less than 30 days ago, you can renew it by paying the existing invoice in your account.

To renew a canceled or expired cPanel license in the Manage Licenses interface, perform the following steps:

  1. If the license is eligible for renewal, you will see a pending invoice when you log in to your cPanel Store account.
  2. Click Pay Now next to the invoice you want to pay.
  3. Select your method of payment.
  4. The payment will process and your license will automatically reactivate.

Licenses that are canceled or expired more than 30 days ago

If your license expired more than 30 days ago, you must purchase a new license.

To purchase a new cPanel license from the cPanel Store, perform the following steps:

  1. Select Order New Services in the Orders/Licenses menu. The cPanel Licenses interface will appear.
  2. Locate the license type that you wish to purchase and click Order Now. The Configure interface will appear.
  3. Enter the IP address for your license in the IP Address text box and select any addons that you want. The page will verify the IP address.
  4. Click Continue. The Review & Checkout interface will appear.
  5. Review your order and click Checkout to continue. The Checkout interface will appear.
  6. Select the account that you want to use to purchase the license. You can select either the current user or create a new account.
  7. Accept the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    Important:

    Before you can complete the purchase process, you must accept WebPros International, LLC’s legal agreements.

  8. Select your preferred method of payment and enter your payment details.
  9. Click Complete Order. The Order Confirmation interface will appear and display your order number. The cPanel Store will also send a copy of the invoice to your email address.

Final steps

Your cPanel license will activate immediately when you purchase or renew it.

If your access to a renewed account is not restored immediately, log into your server via SSH and run the following command as the root user to verify your license:
