License has expired.

[inetnl]

Dear Forum,

When I log in it says my license is expired but I already reinstalled the license 8+ times without success.

First I tried this which broke the whole directadmin system.

echo 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' > /usr/local/directadmin/conf/license.key
chmod 0600 /usr/local/directadmin/conf/license.key
systemctl restart directadmin

root@web01:~# /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/getLicense.sh 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
Using data: license_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
#=#=- # #
Success!!

After i restarted DirectAdmin and try to login I get again: License has expired

This really drives me crazy, can anyone help?

Like what? Because if it causes many issues, I doubt that CSF is the main cause.

What DA version are you on?

Change DA channel to STABLE if using CURRENT 'or' CURRENT if using STABLE.
I faced the same issue on 2 DA server and solved using this method.

License has expired [bug]

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...

I hate to write the obvious, but if disabling or uninstalling CSF fixes your licensing issues, perhaps you might want to look more closely into what is happening.
