Heya,
You’ll need to purchase licensing directly from cPanel. Basically, cPanel is a third-party provider which has it’s own prices and so on, you’ll need to purchase the license there to use it on your Droplet.
Hey,
We recently had the same question here:
When you create a Droplet with cPanel & WHM® for AlmaLinux 8 from the DigitalOcean Marketplace, it’s important to know that while the Droplet comes with cPanel installed, the license is not included.
cPanel is a separate entity. This means that you will need to acquire a cPanel license independently. cPanel, being a premium control panel tool, requires a valid license to function properly.
You will get a 14 day free trial, however, after that, you would still need to pay for the License.
You can purchase this license directly from cPanel or through other authorized resellers.
Once you have your license, you can easily add it with your Droplet and start managing your web hosting environment effectively.
Best,
Bobby
