Question

Why is the WP Toolkit asking me to upgrade when I have a deluxe license?

Answer

This issue occurs because your license file is not detected. This could be because it has not been downloaded and applied, or that the old cached licensed file is preventing the license from updating.

If the cached file is the issue, the license check will give the following error:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/wpt_license --check
info [wpt_license] Found no active WPT license for this server
info [wpt_license] Done (nothing to do).

To resolve both instances, you can run the following commands:

Remove the old license cache file:

mv -v /var/cpanel/caches/store_licenses.json.cache{,.bak}

To update the cPanel license file:

/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

To download the wp-toolkit license file:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/wpt_license --download

To apply for the license:

/usr/local/bin/wp-toolkit --apply-license

Afterward, your license should be detected appropriately.
