I assume that you have gotten a valid license key from Hak5 for the Cloud C2 server you are setting up since you get that kind of message. Did it ever work or did you get these problems straight away? I haven't used Scaleway (what I guess you are referring to as "scalway") so I don't know how it works for that provider. Have you made sure that the server has access to the internet? Perhaps they are strict on the setup of new VPS machines and you need to open things in any firewall available even though it's about egress traffic. Cloud C2 generally complains if it can't "call home" to Hak5 and verify the license when the C2 server is started (and when running as well). I can't remember if it's this exact message, but it seems like a similar scenario. Might be worth checking at least.

FYI, there's another hostname specified in the debug output than the one you used in the command line in this post. Perhaps you masked your true hostname in the command line but forgot to mask it in the debug output. Might be something you want to "clean" in order not to get unwanted visitors.
