cPanel license update failed
Hi all,
I need your help as there is a problem with my cPanel license. I have been advised by my hosting provider who suggest me to post on the forum regarding to my cPanel license as my virtual private server that I rented is unmanaged.

I have tried this:
Do you know why and what the issue is? If you could please advice me with what I would need to do to get it working again? Thanks in advance
Invalid License File. Version may have changed without running cpkeyclt.
To access the interface, you must install the license and ensure that the license is active.
I have tried this:
[root@server /]# /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
Updating cPanel license...Done. Update Failed!
Error message:
The cPanel license server replied that the license has been activated on too many machines.
Please contact billing@cpanel.net
The exact message was: The license has been activated too many times on different machines. (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)!
Building global cache for cpanel...Done
[root@server /]#
Do you know why and what the issue is? If you could please advice me with what I would need to do to get it working again? Thanks in advance

I have solved the problem as it have helped me to solve it by using: /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt --force I have found tha my server has been hacked as I couldn't be able to access to the cPanel. I will need to put a security on the server to avoid any further attacks. Do you know how I can refuse the SSH access to the server unless I use this? 0 -
