Problem
While provisioning an account on a cPanel & WHM or WP Squared server, you see one of the following errors:
This module requires a cPanel & WHM server with a valid license and the 'Standard' server profile.
This module requires a WP Squared server with a valid license and the 'WP Squared' server profile.
Cause
This error indicates that you are attempting to use a server that does not run the correct control panel or does not have a valid license.
Often, this occurs because you attempted to use the cPanel module with a server that runs WP Squared, or you attempted to use the WP Squared module with a server that runs cPanel & WHM.
Solution
Make certain that your server has the correct license for its control panel and uses the correct server profile.
To do this, you can:
- Check your license in the cPanel Store.
- If you are a cPanel Partner, you can also check your licenses in Manage2.
- For steps to purchase a cPanel license, see How to Purchase a cPanel License.
- Check your server profile in WHM at WHM » Server Configuration » Server Profile.
- Contact cPanel Customer Support.
