Was getting below error on cpanel server  even when cpanel license was assigned for main server IP address

root@server4 [/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts]# /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
Updating cPanel license…Done. Update Failed!
Error message:
The cPanel license server said that there was no license for your IP address.
For more information visit: http://www.cpanel.net/lic.html

The exact message was: Abort, Retry, Fail?

Building global cache for cpanel…Done

The issue was due to wrong entries in  /etc/hosts file

went ahead and set the correct hostname and IP in  /etc/hots file and  refreshed cpanel license

root@server4 [/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts]# /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
Updating cPanel license…Done. Update succeeded.
