DirectAdmin v.1.62.4

You need to update your server.

Important: Upgrade your DirectAdmin to ensure compatibility with our new licensing system

We'd like to announce that we're shutting down our old licensing infrastructure. Our more advanced key-based system has been operating for months already, and we are now ready to formalize this system as the future of DirectAdmin licensing. If you are running any of our last three releases...

Thank you for replying. I understand upgrading the OS is the way but there's not a way to upgrade without clean install which therefore will results in losing current data ( I can't migrate/backup data with DA)

unless you could please suggest a way around it?

install which therefore will results in losing current data ( I can't migrate/backup data with DA)

Why ? DA can create excellent backups that you can import into your new server.
is Centos 6 32 or 64 bits ?, 64 bits are updatable to 1.65.7, although I am not sure how much this last (we have one Centos 6.10 ELS box)

When Centos 6 64 bit try to manual update : https://docs.directadmin.com/direct...ting-da.html#manual-update-using-cli-commands

You can try to make an backup by CLI : https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/cli-admin-backup-not-working-license-expired.64928/post-338103

Centos 32 bit

I tired manual update and CLI and failed totally , still stuck at 1.6.2 not updatable to any version further

Centos 32 bit

Yep that is your problem, is not supported.
Try to recover from your old backups or make manual backup with phpmyadmin and your files by ftp

No other way around it? this is massive lose of data

You may employ any server management company (including mc2) to do the migration to a newer OS if you wouldn't like to do it yourself. I'd like to note command-line backups still work and they can be restored on a new server.
