Bypassing WHMCS License server. It should work and with the latest 3.7.2 verion!
Installation Steps:
1. First you need to make a fake license server, this is pretty easy if you have a VPS/Dedicated and either cPanel or Plesk
Root into your server and type the following command followed by enter
CODE
vi /etc/hosts
add a new line to this file by pressing \"i\" and then using the keyboard arrows to enter this text on a new line (tabs between information, not spaces)
CODE
127.0.0.1 www.whmcs.com whmcs whmcs whmcs.localdomain
press escape then type
CODE
:x
and hit enter to save and close the file.
Reboot Server.
Note: If after you reboot server and follow all steps carefully, you get no license info, at etc/hosts file add your server's ip and not 127.0.0.1
CODE
Your_Server_IP www.whmcs.com whmcs whmcs whmcs.localdomain
Reboot server!
======================================================================
2. Now using cPanel/Plesk create a new domain whmcs.com
FTP into your server and locate the document root for this new whmcs.com domain you have created
(In plesk its /var/www/vhosts/whmcs.com/httpdocs/)
Make a new folder in here called license and then go into that folder
create a new file called index.php
open the file and insert the following text and save and close
CODE
Ok thats the fake license server done!
You should be able to install WHMCS now.
3. Download and install WHMCS. I have included both 3.7.1 and 3.7.2 (only upgrade) files plus the license.php file.

* To install whmcs, use this license key: 123456
After installation have finished, upload the license.php file and run it. It will grab your license key and mysql details from configuration.php.
It should look like this:
Just click \"ADD LICENSE\" and you are now ready to run your full version of WHMCS (license.php file will automatically add the license key string to your database).
When you finish page looks like this:
Now you have a fully functional whmcs, but there is the \"Powered by WHMCompleteSolution\" shit at the frontend and admin area. Just download the following file \"display.php\" and upload it to the root of the whmcs installation.

4. Delete license.php and install folder from your server.
Login to your admin area and check back to whmcs, should work untill 2050!!
Go to Help --> License Information and you will see this:
* URGENT * PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND UPLOAD THIS ARCHIVE TO YOUR INSTALLATION:

2 admin files - 1 with direct access to whmcs license server (configticketspamcontrol.php) and browser.php which has a backlink to whmcs.com (i have decoded and nulled these 2 files).
I have also included the display.php file which removes the Power by WHMCS.com shit.
Also you can edit the menu.js file located at admin/javascript and make these changes:
Line 105 -->
CODE
var menu9=new Array()
menu9[0]='Documentation'
menu9[1]='License Information'
menu9[2]='Change License Key'
menu9[3]='Check for Updates'
menu9[4]='Support Request'
menu9[5]='Dev Tracker'
menu9[6]='Community Forums'
menu9[0]='Documentation'
menu9[1]='License Information'
menu9[2]='Change License Key'
menu9[3]='Check for Updates'
menu9[4]='Support Request'
menu9[5]='Dev Tracker'
menu9[6]='Community Forums'
Change to -->
CODE
var menu9=new Array()
menu9[0]='License Information'
menu9[0]='License Information'
Good luck!!
