I pass the last 3 years using the same datacenter, now I need to change it.

Directadmin change his license check type, I have my lifetime license since 2014 and never got a problem with this, but now I can't change the IP address of my server.

I have opened a ticket 3 days ago, no solutions, I still have the same problem!

You don't need to change any ip address of your server, with the new licensing system that is not required anymore.
For setup you don't need the customer id and license ID anymore, but a license key.

New steps:
1.) First login to your Directadmin account.
2.) Set your new OS to the correct OS or just let it sit at "auto".
3.) Most likely you don't have a license key yet, because it's that long ago. So just go to the apprpriate line and create a license key.
4.) Download the setup.sh as you did before.
5.) Install by using ./setup.sh <yourlicensekey here>
and all will be installed automatically. DA first, and faster, the rest on the background so I suggest to wait filling in things and restoring domains untill everything is ready. A message will be put in the system messages.

Check the forum or the docs for commandline options if required.
 
You don't have to change your ip just reactive your license whit new way of activation:

check your current license key by

Code:
cat /usr/local/directadmin/conf/license.key

now you see the licence key, copy it on safe place

now activate the new way by :

Code:
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/getLicense.sh 'hereyourlicensekey'

EDIT: I see @Richard G was faster with reply :) , you can use the way you like
