Manage your Chef 360 Platform license

This document describes how to upload a Chef license in air-gapped or internet-connected environments.

List your licenses

Use the chef-platform-auth-cli to list your available Chef 360 Platform licenses.

  • List your Chef 360 Platform licenses:

    chef-platform-auth-cli license-management license list-license
    

    This lists each uploaded license and its status.

Sync your Chef 360 Platform license

You can sync your Chef 360 Platform license in the Admin Console.

Sync your Chef license

The Chef license allows you to create and run Chef Courier jobs.

You must be in an internet-connected environment to sync your Chef license.

  • To sync your Chef license, run the following command:

    chef-platform-auth-cli license-management license sync-license
    

    This fetches the latest license details from Chef’s Licensing Service and updates all licenses present on Chef 360 Platform’s License Management Service.

Note

Syncing your license doesn’t update the status of a license if it’s status in Chef’s License Service differs from it’s status on Chef 360 Platform’s License Management Service. For example, it doesn’t disable an enabled license if it’s disabled on Chef’s License Service and vice versa.

Manually load a license

Follow these steps to upload a license. This procedure works in an internet-connected or air-gapped environment.

  1. On an internet-connected workstation, download your license from the Chef Community site.

  2. Upload the license to Chef 360:

    Submit the license as a string:

    chef-platform-auth-cli license-management license load-license --body '{"licenseId":"LICENSE_ID"}'
    

    Submit the path to the license file:

    chef-platform-auth-cli license-management license upload-license --body-file <PATH_TO_LICENSE>
    

Thank you for your feedback!
