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 license

Use the chef-platform-auth-cli to sync your Chef 360 Platform license with Chef’s license service. This is only available in an internet-connected environment.

  • Sync your Chef 360 Platform license:

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

    This fetches the latest license details from Chef licensing service and updates all licenses present on Chef 360’s license management service.

Note

Sync doesn’t update the status of the licenses if the status in Chef’s license service differs from the licenses in Chef 360’s license management service. For example, sync does not disable an enabled license, if disabled in the global 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>
