Message:

To access the interface, you must install the license and ensure that the license is active.You can purchase or lease a license directly from cPanel, or from one of our Partners.

If you do not currently own a license, register at the cPanel Store and request a trial license.

The cPanel license server replied that the license has been activated on too many machines (600). Please contact [email protected] The exact message was: The license has been activated too many times on different machines.

Hello,

The only way to resolve this is to contact [email protected] as the error indicates. They should be able to assist you with getting the license activated and remove the block in place for the activations of the license.

can you provide the ticket number please? I can't help you with this issue, it must be addressed by our customer service department. It sounds as though there may have been a miscommunication regarding the issue.
