Dear Cpanel support I have brought up a new server with Cpanel installation script. For some reasons i don't want to buy cpanel license at this moment for this new server and also within the next 12 month and after that i need to but license for my IP My Question is that if i don't buy license what will happen to the web server,mail server, and database server within my CentOs server? All i know is that without paying for license you will loose access to Cpanel control panel interface. But what will happen to the installed services like Exim,Dovecot,Mysql,Apache, and .... Do they loose their functionality?

  Hello, Your services (e.g. Apache, Exim, MySQL) remain installed and functional, but you will lose access to the cPanel/WHM interfaces. We also won't be able to troubleshoot any issues you encounter with those services after the license expires. Thank you.

  Does losing access to cPanel/WHM interfaces also mean the sites in there will be down? or are they still going to be up and live, only the whm/cpanel backend will be inaccessible?

  That question is answered for you, just above. Your site will still work, but you won't be able to work on it, or touch it at all from the cPanel end of things.

  So when the Cpanel license expires, aside from updates and access to WHM/Cpanel, does anything else break? I assume not and you could administrate the server from the command line going forward?

  Hi, If your cPanel license expire then you will not able to access WHM/cPanel as well as not able to access mail account through webmail.

  I believe also, automatic package security updates would be disabled too? What about tailwatchd and checksrvd which monitor and restart services and send email alert notifications including low free diskspace, high CPU/memory utilitization etc etc etc. Do these monitors and notification functions also stop when the license has expired?

  The server will not receive any more updates from cPanel, although it will continue to function.
