how long for a license to be activated?

[jonnyt]

Hi, I just purchased a license on the c-panel site and the message said the IP would be activated for 72 hours pending completion of a credit card form. How long do I have to wait for the license to be activated? I just check the c-panel verification site and it is still showing the IP as inactive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Have a box that is down that I need to get up asap.

many thanks

you have to fax over the activation forms with your signature on them, then I guess its as long as it takes the cpanel staff to process them but thats all automated as far as i know

Ultimately, you can either email billing@cpanel.net of 'phone them on their listed numbers if it is urgent.
