Do you have access to https://www.directadmin.com/clients/ ? You need to either log in there and retrieve your license key (not your LID) or ask the owner of the license to provide it to you.

Well. According to the notice on the previous page being:
Maybe if you disable your firewall temporarily it can detect it. If not, and you don't have access to the customer portal, you can either ask your hoster/datacenter for the key, or maybe write a mail to DA sales providing the ip used 1 month ago when it worked, and hope they can help you.
Normally the one you have the DA license from should help you with this.
it seems this time the system can't detect the key.

I tried to request temporary license and your support answered sorry we cannot add temporary licenseBeing able to run more than 1 server on a license has never been advertised as a feature, nor has it been allowed. Our licensing agreement (which has remained unchanged since 2003) clearly mentions circumventing license checks.
The weakness in our old licensing system allowed people to abuse back-and-forth IP changing and run more than 1 server on a license... sometimes for a very long time. Others figured out they could use this exploit to generate a temporary license of sorts, which they used for migration purposes.
The official method has always been to request a temp license, not to try and run two servers on one license.

Is it a license with support? The migration guide says licenses with support can open a ticket and request a migration license. It also says all others should just buy a license for the amount of time they need.

From a licensing perspective, yes you could. You would maintain licensing sessions no matter what IPv4/IPv6 happens to be the WAN IP at the time.
