    DirectAdmin license has expired

    The error 'License has expired' can occur on a VPS with DirectAdmin after restoring a back-up or snapshot, or after updating the affected VPS. The solution is thankfuly relatively easy. Execute the following commands using command-line as root user or using sudo:

    cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts 
    ./getLicense.sh auto
    systemctl restart directadmin

    In some cases, most notably older installations, it may be necessary to also update Custombuild afterwards:

    /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build update_da

    If the 'License has expired' error coincides with a recent change in DirectAdmin's license, or update system, you'll almost always also have to update DirectAdmin using the command:

    /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/getDA.sh current
