Expired license after every reboot

[bluesteam]

Hello,

We have a VPS server with DirectAdmin on it and CloudLinux.

Recently we were forced to restore the VPS server entirely from a full VPS backup.

Before the restore, we could reboot the server as many times as we would like and DA would be fine.

Since the restore, every time we reboot, DA shows an expired license error message.
To correct this we run the following command from a shell:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./getLicense.sh <LicenseID>

Why would the license stop working after every reboot??

Did the server ip change?

What version of DirectAdmin are you running? OS & version?

Nope

What version of DirectAdmin are you running? OS & version?

DA - v1.648
OS - Cloudlinux v7.9

Hi sec-is,

your issue is different to mine and really deserves it's own thread. My issue is not solved and we decided to just move back to cPanel as we have had way too many issues with DA.

You are right. I copied it to https://forum.directadmin.com/threa...pdate-v1-648-ef029e9-to-v1-649-980b861.68407/
Sorry! If you delete your comment to me, I will remove mine, to make this thread clean again.
Be sure to leave a comment, stating you reverted to cpanel, this is essential info for others.

I’m not sure it’s related to the restore, since I’ve been getting this issue too with an internal license from my bare metal provider. A server reboot will result in a “license is expired” error until I restart the DirectAdmin service (or run getLicense). Once I restart the server, or run getLicense, all is well and I can see the proper expiry date in the license details page.

Not sure what the issue is, but I can work around it for now.
