    Thank You for installing cPanel / WHM.


    This server is currently not licensed. Please contact the server administrator. Other services available on this server such as web services are likely functioning normally. (Cannot read license file)


    Once the license on this server is active, you will no longer see this message. If you have installed a license since loading this page, click here to reload.


    That's the message - I took a snapshot but can't work out how to insert it unfortunately.

    Thanks

    That will appear in the file:

    /usr/local/cpanel/logs/license_log

    Like I would recommend applying the following command and enter the result

    /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

    Thanks

    The commands you must enter them through SSH as root.
    If you do not have root access you must tell your provider the problem.

    Righto - I don't have access as root, or SSH. I have emailed the webhosting company. I assume that's the people to contact?

    Thanks for your responses.
