When you are using the CPanel remote access key do you copy the lines that say

----- key blah blah ---

--- key ends blah ---

I'm sorry, is this a question or a warning? If it is a warning, most users know not to include the header and footer ends of the Remote Access Key. Please be more specific so forum users can reply with your exact question or comment.

You mean: ------BEGIN WHM ACCESS KEY------
-------END WHM ACCESS KEY-------?

If so then do not copy it

Hi

A remote access key is used for automatic account creation scripts, external billing software, and various other applications that need to call WebHost Manager to create, remove, or modify accounts.

For example: It is used in WHMAutopilot (http://www.whmautopilot.com)
