It&#8217;s designed for website administration via a graphical user interface that you can access over the web. It&#8217;s popular for shared hosting situations due to the ease with which users can access and change the settings for their individual sites.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a paid service where you can pay for usage on a monthly, yearly or even lifetime basis. The main benefit of it being a paid service is the access to technical support, which helps a lot when issues crop up or you want to increase the security of your system, which is especially important if you&#8217;re running a shared hosting platform with many users.<\/p>\n<p>Since DirectAdmin is proprietary software, you&#8217;ll need a license to run it. While there is an automated solution for updating your DirectAdmin license, it is sometimes not possible, in which case you&#8217;ll need to update it manually. Fear not, as it&#8217;s an extremely simple process on the same level as your distro&#8217;s standard package update command. We&#8217;ve compiled this short guide to walk you through the steps of getting your license updated.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting started<\/h2>\n<p>In order to follow the steps for this guide, you&#8217;ll need these prequirements ready:<br \/>\n\u2022\tA server (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globo.tech\/cloud-server-pricing\" target=\"_blank\">Cloud Server<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globo.tech\/dedicated-server-hosting\" target=\"_blank\">Dedicated Server<\/a>) with DirectAdmin installed<br \/>\n\u2022\tA valid license key<br \/>\n\u2022\tAll commands must be entered in root<\/p>\n<h2>Tutorial<\/h2>\n<p>This guide is concerned with how to update or force the update of your Directadmin License. You&#8217;ll first need to obtain a valid key from directadmin.com, and the user ID that was assigned to the license. Naturally, the license should be registered and assigned to your server&#8217;s IP address.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a set of sample information that we&#8217;ll use in this guide:<br \/>\n\u2022\tUser ID : 1111<br \/>\n\u2022\tLicense : 12345<br \/>\n\u2022\tIP address : 123.123.123.2<\/p>\n<p>Your first step is to change into your Directadmin directory.<\/p>\n<p><code>cd \/usr\/local\/directadmin\/scripts<\/code><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll notice a handy script in this directory. This is the key to performing the manual update. Use the following command (remember to enter it as root!) to update your license.<\/p>\n<p><code class=\"gris\">.\/getLicense.sh [User ID] [License ID] [Server IP address]<\/code><br \/>\n<code>.\/getLicense.sh 1111 1234 123.123.123.2<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Now, the final step is to restart your DirectAdmin service.<\/p>\n<p><code>service directadmin restart<\/code><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Voila! Your DirectAdmin license should now be updated. As you can see, it&#8217;s a very easy process that doesn&#8217;t take much time, so don&#8217;t put it off when it comes time to update.
