### Key Info

When creating new cPanel accounts via WHM » Home » Account Functions » Create a New Account, you may encounter this error message:

```
Account Creation Status: Failed. Your system has run out of available IP addresses, or you do not have permission to use any more IP addresses.
```

This error means there are no free dedicated IP addresses left on the server.

WHM looks for a dedicated IP because the selected package for the new account has the “Dedicated IP” option enabled. In this case, WHM tries to assign a free dedicated IP address, but none are available.

To resolve the issue, you should delete or modify the existing package to uncheck the Dedicated IP option. After updating the package, try creating the account again.

### Summary

This error occurs when no free dedicated IP addresses are available on the server because the package requires one. To fix it, update the package to disable the Dedicated IP option and retry account creation.
