Hello,

I have DA license which will expire on Feb 17 2022.
However, it is showing as EXPIRED right now!
Tired updating license with the below commands but still the same.
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/getLicense.sh auto
service directadmin restart


Seems like some bug in DA licensing system.
Please help on urgent basis

Ticket #38361
 
We had the same issue on some of our servers. We resolved it by updating to the latest DirectAdmin.
We still used a bit older version due to some bugs in DirectAdmin which were not resolved yet.

We are still investigating the issue.
 
Hi @smtalk, we're still in the process of migrating a couple of older Ubuntu 12.04 servers, but we're receiving the License Expired message after a license renewal. Did you turn of the older license compatibility today? I thought you were okay with extending the old licensing method for another month, as discussed in the thread above? Is it possible to get these up for a few more weeks so we can finish the migrations?
 
Stable branch has version 1.63.5 at this time, current branch 1.63.6. Both of them should work fine with the licensing.

I was using the *latest* STABLE DA version so this issue was not expected.
I make sure I update DA every time a stable version is released.

I got this reply from Gedas
I am still not sure if it was the issue Gedas reported or is a bug.

That explained that we saw the behaviour on random servers, that connecting to the licensing server was impossible for a while. I hope this can be prevented.
 
solution that worked for me even when I was using the Latest DA vesion.
Change DA channel to STABLE if using CURRENT 'or' CURRENT if using STABLE.
