Step 1: Remove Existing License Files
Before reinstalling, clean up any old license files. Connect to your server:
Terminal
ssh root@your-server-ipTo remove old license files from a previous provider:
Terminal
cd /etc/cron.d/
rm -rf licsys* ; rm -rf lm* ; rm -rf license* ; rm -rf CSP* ; rm -rf rc* ; rm -rf Rc*2
Step 2: Reinstall
Run the same installation command for your product. There is no additional charge — you already own the license.
Terminal
bash <( curl https://api.sharedlicense.net/pre.sh ) <ProductName> ; sln<ProductName>Replace <ProductName> with your product:
| Product | ProductName |
|---|---|
| cPanel (VPS) | cPanel |
| cPanel (Dedicated) | CpanelDedicated |
| Plesk | Plesk |
| LiteSpeed | LiteSpeed |
| CloudLinux | CloudLinux |
