DirectAdmin v1.63.4 RC

Somedays are unlike the others.. Today I found out that Directadmin is changing...
How..? Because I can't log into the panel anymore with the message: License has expired
Two days ago I got an email from DA that: License File has been updated
My guess is that, after that I was unable to log into DA..

I lease my server and the datacenter lease it to me with Directadmin.
They hold the license, and probably they did get the info about this upgrade as well.
DA has worked fine all my years, so there has been no need to check by here...

I have leased it for many years, but have payed for my final year,
and this server lease will end in september.

So now I am probably totaly in deep s#it.. Outdated in both OS & DA...
I run Centos 6.10 & and a check inside the license.key says DA version=1.3

I need DA to perform my admin routines. I am somehow not so used at Linux shell.

Is there any simple way that I can use to hold life in the DA panel on this server until september?
What are my options?

Regards Rune :-/

As long as it’s not 32 bit CentOS 6. It should work.

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...

@Rune, just upgrade to the latest DA using /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/getDA.sh current script. More details at:

Updating DirectAdmin | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base
docs.directadmin.com

CentOS is EOL, but upgrading with getDA.sh should still work.
 
Looked inside "/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/setup.txt" and found:

uid=xxx
lid=xxxxx

I tried that, even if it say UID and not CID, but it did not work..

Got this reply (as if I cant login.. or file does not exist):

Can the UID value be used for CID ?

You do not need LID and CID to perform DA upgrade. Unless you have a rather old getDA.sh script. What is the current DA version /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin v ?

You can perform manual upgrade using these commands (command are update for CentOS 6 build):

Code: 
COMMIT=$(dig +short -t txt "rhel6-version.directadmin.com" | sed 's|.*commit=\([0-9a-f]*\).*|\1|')           # can be commit hash literal value if you want specific build to be installed
FILE="directadmin_${COMMIT}_rhel6_amd64.tar.gz"                                                              # creates download package name from the variables above

curl --location --progress-bar --connect-timeout 10 "https://download.directadmin.com/${FILE}" --output "/root/${FILE}"   # downloads given directadmin build into /root dir
tar xzf "/root/${FILE}" -C /usr/local/directadmin                                                                         # extracts downloaded package to /usr/local/directadmin
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin permissions || true                                                                    # runs post-upgrade permission fix step
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/update.sh                                                                                  # runs other post upgrade fixes
service directadmin restart                                                                      # restarts directadmin
 
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin v
gave me Version: DirectAdmin v.1.60.4

Not so used to shell. Should I run the above command lines one by one exactly as written..?
 
Yes one by one.

You can skip all the text after # symbol, these are comments. Pasting command with comments will work as well but they make lines much longer and clunkier to deal with. Here is a version without comments:


Code: 
COMMIT=$(dig +short -t txt "rhel6-version.directadmin.com" | sed 's|.*commit=\([0-9a-f]*\).*|\1|')
FILE="directadmin_${COMMIT}_rhel6_amd64.tar.gz"
curl --location --progress-bar --connect-timeout 10 "https://download.directadmin.com/${FILE}" --output "/root/${FILE}"
tar xzf "/root/${FILE}" -C /usr/local/directadmin
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin permissions || true
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/update.sh
service directadmin restart
