Reset the license for Ensim Pro Control Panel Linux
Ensim Pro Control Panel license is tied to a MAC-address. Therefore, when you change your network card, Ensim does not recognize the license as valid anymore.
Rename /etc/appliance/.license/.LIC_file and /etc/appliance/.license/.MLK_file so that the license would be treated as a new one by Ensim
# mv /etc/appliance/.license/.MLK_file /etc/appliance/.license/.MLK_file.bak
# mv /etc/appliance/.license/.LIC_file /etc/appliance/.license/.LIC_file.bak
Once this is done, we need to contact support to reset the license.
Setting up sendmail over SSL on Ensim Pro Control Panel for Linux
Login as root on your Ensim Pro Control Panel for Linux box
Backup your current sendmail conf file
cp /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.bak
Prepare sendmail’s certificate
cd /usr/share/ssl/certs
make sendmail.pem
You will be prompted with several questions typical for SSL certificate generation)
Backup /usr/lib/opcenter/sendmail/install/sendmail.mc file
cp /usr/lib/opcenter/sendmail/install/sendmail.mc /usr/lib/opcenter/sendmail/install/sendmail.mc.bak
Edit /usr/lib/opcenter/sendmail/install/sendmail.mc file
vi /usr/lib/opcenter/sendmail/install/sendmail.mc
Uncomment the following lines to point to your generated certificate
define(`confCACERT_PATH’,`/usr/share/ssl/certs’)
define(`confCACERT’,`/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt’)
define(`confSERVER_CERT’,`/usr/share/ssl/certs/sendmail.pem’)
define(`confSERVER_KEY’,`/usr/share/ssl/certs/sendmail.pem’)
Add DAEMON_OPTIONS to make sendmail listen on port 465
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA’)dnl
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=SSLMTA, M=s’)dnl
Rebuild sendmail conf file
m4 /usr/lib/opcenter/sendmail/install/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Restart sendmail
/sbin/service sendmail restart
You can check if sendmail is listening on 465 port by issuing command

Requirements for upgrading Ensim Control Panel
File system EXT3
Important: Quotas may not function as intended if you use other file systems.
Disk space At least 40 GB
Disk space partitioning:
/ 5 GB or more
(assuming minimum disk space of 40 GB)
/usr 5 GB or more
/swap Twice the size of RAM
The size of the partitions can vary in proportion to the size of the disk space.
/var 4 GB or more
/home 20 GB or more (depending on the number of sites you want to host)
Important: Do not create /home/virtual on a separate partition. The Site Administrator dashboard reports incorrect disk usage if the directory is created on a separate partition.
