In order to transfer an existing license to a new IP address, you will need to update the license IP address in the cPanel Store and update the license file on your server. 

Update license IP address

  1. Log in to your cPanel Store account
  2. Click Manage Licenses in the top menu.
  3. Locate the license IP address you wish to transfer.
  4. Click the arrow under Actions and select Edit IP.
  5. Enter the new IP address.
  6. Click Save Changes.

Update license file

The IP change will take effect immediately. You will need to update the license file on the server by running the following command via SSH as the root user:

/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
