Have a strange issue I've never run into before and hoping someone can shed some light because Cpanel support has yet to figure this out.
So after launching a VPS and installing Cpanel I received a second IP (call it Addr B) for DDoS protection. I then ran the IP migration to switch everything to the new IP. I believe this was while the original IP (call it Addr A) was still on the primary interface (etho0) and the second one was on eth:0:0. Since I was no longer using the Addr A, I swapped interfaces. Everything was working fine, except, at the top it's showing Trial License, but with Addr B. I verified Addr B has a valid non-trial license. I also noted in Support Center at the bottom, it's showing Addr A.
Here's the issue I'm having. When Addr B is set as primary (eth0), WHM fetches the license as the Addr A address for some reason. See the curl result below followed by the network interface. This means it fetches the trial license for Addr A. When I flip it around so Addr B is on eth0:0 WHM fetches the correct license for Addr B but I can't issue support tickets as the server fails validation. Basically I can issue support tickets with the trial license only. I need to figure out how to fix this so I can have my valid license AND issue support tickets, in other words figure out how to get the Support Center IP address to be listed as Addr B instead of the original Addr A. I'm guessing it may have something to do with the fact I issued my first WHM generated support ticket when I was on the trial licens of Addr A.

WHM Support Center shows at bottom:

As I said if I switch it around so Addr A (Trial) is on etho0 and Addr B (Real) is on etho0:0 I get:
[root@rn1 ~]# curl http://www.cPanel.com/showip.cgi
{Addr B - Real License}
Trial License message in WHM disappears
WHM Support Center still shows at bottom:
