Need a license server?

My panel locked my interface on Oct 2, claiming I exceeded my license count (I had 4 sites, plan allows 5). Support demanded $60 to "force a recheck." I refused, and my ticket sat for 6 days, taking my Postfix mail down with it.

I made sure to screenshot the transcript and invoice before they quietly edited the wording.

This isn't an isolated incident. A friend had the same audit glitch with Plesk last year.

I’ve migrated to BeAdmin. Everything is modular, and nothing phones home to verify if I’m "allowed" to use my own hardware. If your panel needs a license server to unlock basic functions, you don't actually own your server.
