New Cpanel License for new droplet?

Posted on October 4, 2014

Hi all, I’m thinking to create a new droplet. I already have an existing droplet running on CentOS 6.4 with Cpanel/WHM. The question is, do I need to subscribe for new Cpanel license for the new droplet? Or can I just reuse the existing Cpanel license for both droplets? Thanks.

This would be up to cPanel to decide.

DigitalOcean does not manage licenses for them.

If you are making a new droplet, likely you will need to purchase a new license from cPanel.

You actually need a WHM/Cpanel for each droplet.

Hello, all

cPanel is a third party application which is also available through our Marketplace. New installations of cPanel come with a 15 day free trial. For further use beyond that point a valid license will need to be purchased directly through cPanel.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
