Looks like WHMCS is down and license problems are at it again.

Quote:

WHMCS has not been able to verify your license for the last few days.

To access your WHMCS Admin Area again, first the license needs to be verified. So please check & ensure that you don't have any firewall or other rules blocking outgoing connections to our website.

If you need assistance, email licensing@whmcs.com.

I thought they would make some improvements at least to their licensing servers after they encountered downtime about 3 days ago.

It's not just you! http://whmcs.com looks down from here.

A fix for owned licenses definitely needs to be there in place, as right now WHMCS is off-limits.

Update

Thanks sajanNOPPIX. Indeed, looks like a scheduled maintenance after checking Twitter.

We will be carrying out planned maintenance on our servers tomorrow evening from 11pm CST lasting for approximately 2-3 hours

I don't use WHMCS myself, but just from seeing the continuing issues they are having...it certainly does not look good.

However, I was speaking to a friend earlier today and he mentioned that 'WHMCS was meant to go down today.' Perhaps this is a scheduled maintenance?

Regardless, your license should certainly not fail to verify due to their downtime. That is ridiculous.

Update

OP has updated his post as well and this was indeed a scheduled maintenance.

WHMCS is down for me now as well. It was just working a few moments ago, as I submitted a ticket and got a response from them no more than 30 minutes ago.

Thanks! I checked their Twitter and indeed its a scheduled maintenance.

Yes, its very frustrating as WHMCS is completely off-limits to everyone. I hope this schedule maintenance will resolve the licensing problems.

WHMCS seems to be back up and running for me. However, as others have pointed out there is a maintenance in progress, which according to WHMCS via Twitter may last between 2-3 hours.
