I tried to follow the https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/installation/uninstalling
However, I was not able to see any change from pro to GPL, I still have the pro feature.
In fact, here the steps I made so far.
/etc/apt/sources.list
# deb http://5574682:xxxxxx@software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/apt virtualmin-bionic main
# deb http://5574682:xxxxxx@software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/apt virtualmin-universal main
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu/ virtualmin-precise main
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu/ virtualmin-universal main
Then (I am confused with this section if I made the right changes) apt-get install webmin-virtual-server
Finally, /etc/virtualmin-license
[root@panel ~]# less /etc/virtualmin-license
# LicenseKey=xxxxxx
# SerialNumber=5574682
SerialNumber=GPL
LicenseKey=GPL
However, I still have the Pro version. Could you shed some light?
Howdy,
After making that change, what output do you receive when running these commands:

Hmm, it looks like there's a few errors when running "apt-get update".
One of those looks like an issue with an older Virtualmin repo -- I've modified the instructions to show the newer apt repository for those two sources.list lines... can you try those? It's pointing to "/gpl/vm/6/apt" now rather than "/gpl/ubuntu".
Note that the "mod-pagespeed" repository there also has a similar problem, you may want to consider commenting that out or updating it.
Once the above is done, are you able to perform the update?

@andreychek
I was able to perform the update and install the webmin-virtual-server. No error message so far.
However, the error message still returns: An error occurred checking the licence : Invalid host or serial number A renewal can be purchased at http://www.virtualmin.com/shop

@andreychek Any ideas where to go about this case?

Created a separate thread instead https://www.virtualmin.com/node/66219
Please be patient, troubleshooting issues can take some time :-)
We have minimal availability over the weekend (there's only 4 of us working at Virtualmin), and your posts were coming through while we were all asleep.
I had modified the documentation when I posted Comment #4... it doesn't look like your sources.list file is using the updated repo path that I mentioned though.
My recommendation would be to review the updated sources.list mentioned in the documentation, and to ensure it matches what's on your system:

Hello @andreychek,
Thank you for getting back to me.
My apology for the multiple threads. Yes, I understand the situation and appreciate your understanding for this thread.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
could you shed some light?
Hrm, I've asked Joe for some clarification on what the correct GPL repo path should be, I'll post here once I hear back from him.
-Eric
After talking to Joe, I was wrong about the path, it should be "/vm/6/gpl/apt".
I've updated the docs to reflect that -- you'll also need to update the two lines in your sources.list file.
-Eric
Hello @andreychek and the rest of the team.
Spot on. This is now working as expected. Much appreciated for the support. You may tag this case as solved now.
