in the lincense info it shows the correct exp date i can also reupload the lic without error

but when trying to start a node I get the following error:

Load your licene again, but that license which was received originally with the order!!
All rehosted licenses are striped off.

Find original email with lic received with your order.
See pdf in attachment.

I will try to give it a go again tonight and let you know if it works.

although last night after i did what you suggest here already and waited (and tried to troubleshoot the story) for about 1 hour or more the lic was not validated online as it describes in your provided document.

is this an automated process for which i just should have waited more or someone is looking at this at real time and i need to wait for that person to authorize the lic?

NO, lic usually validates with 15-30 mins.
Do you use proxy for your eve?? it can be issue.

Or simply DNS settings are not ok on EVE

another cause could be, if I did rehost you manually, you had asked me rehost you some time ago..
You must be sure that you are using original license, received after payment.
send me your order reference number and email used in the prder, I have to find them to check what happening.

maybe i didn't explain my problem right, but i did not do any rehosting.
i'm still using my original VM that was working just fine until now and had gone through a couple of normal upgrade procedures over the year, but now as i tried to do the same for the latest version as the homepage specifies it, i ended up with this error message.

this upgrading from one version to the next (minor release) constitute as rehosting?

i got hold of an old image (wasn't easy btw) and it is back working now on 2.0.4-77-PRO version without ever needing to touch the licensing parts.
if i do a simply apt upgrade (to 2.0.5-12) i get this error

only after version 2.0.5-12 you can rehost EVE license yourself
Means reinstall eve, move to another host
only one requirements is, EVE must be online to validate license.

And only origibal licenses bought and received by email will be ok.
All manually rehosted lic are striped off..
