Can I continue to use ssh when the trial license expired?

[elouardi]

Hello,
I have two questions, please

1- Can I continue to use ssh when the trial license expired?
For example to create Addon Domain for my user.

2- If I buy an Admin license for a month and I add 5 domains (users ) , what will happen if I don't renew the licence?
Will I be able to manage the domains through the SSH?

Thank you

You can use the cpapi2. but I can't guarantee it will work without the proper cPanel Licensing added to the server.

Hey there! SSH itself would continue to function normally, but API calls may not work as expected.

It's not recommended to let the license expire - if that happens, you'll lose all interface access, as well as the services outlined in the following article:

cPanel

support.cpanel.net

Thank You for response.

When I do this request vis SSH for create an addondomaine

cpapi2 --user=MYUSER  AddonDomain addaddondomain newdomain=MYDOMAINENAME.COM subdomain=MYDOMAINENAME

I get this error :

“/usr/local/cpanel/cpanel” exited with status 1 (EPERM). at bin/apitool.pl line 260.

Is this related to the expiration of the license?

That's correct - any account creation tools would also not work properly with the license being inactive. I just tested this by breaking the license on a test machine to confirm this behavior.

I also realize that article I linked you earlier has been removed, but yes, the API would be included in something we would not expect to work with an expired license.
