license see the chef license documentation chef has two licenses master license and services agreement mlsa and end user license agreement eula accept the chef mlsa you can accept the chef mlsa using one of the following ways when running chef product name ctl reconfigure the chef mlsa is printed type yes to accept it anything other than typing yes rejects the chef mlsa and the upgrade process will exit typing yes adds a license accepted file to the etc chef accepted_licenses product name file as long as this file exists in this directory the chef mlsa is accepted and the reconfigure process won t prompt for yes run the chef product name ctl reconfigure command using the chef license accept option this automatically types yes and skips printing the chef mlsa add a license accepted file to the var opt product name directory the contents of this file don t matter as long as this file exists in this directory the chef mlsa is accepted and the reconfigure process won t prompt for yes chef automate the chef automate reconfigure tool automate ctl walks users through the install and setup of chef automate accept the chef mlsa after that in the browser follow the in product prompts accept the chef eula if no command line argument or environment variable is set chef products attempt to request acceptance through an interactive prompt if the prompt can t be displayed the product will fail with an exit code 172 if the product attempts to persist the accepted license and fails a message is sent to stdout but product invocation will continue successfully in a future invocation you must accept the chef license again see license file persistence for details about persisted marker files chef habitat you can accept the chef license using a hab cli command or with an environment variable if the license isn t accepted through either of these methods chef habitat will request that you accept the license through an interactive prompt options chef habitat accepts the following license acceptance options accept accept the license and attempts to persist a marker file locally persisting these marker files means future invocations don t require accepting the license again accept no persist accept the license silently but no marker file is persisted future invocation will require accepting the license again command line option you can use the hab cli to accept the chef license hab license license_option environment variable you can set an environment variable to accept the chef license for example export hab_license license_option hab v replace license_option with one of the chef license options ci environment to accept the chef license in ci or other automated environments if your hab commands run as root create an empty file on the filesystem at hab accepted licenses habitat if your hab commands run as a user other than root create an empty file at home hab accepted licenses habitat for situations where hab commands run as multiple users create both files errors if the chef habitat license prompt can t be displayed then the product fails with an exit code 172 if chef habitat can t persist the accepted license it sends a message stdout but the product invocation will continue successfully you must accept the chef license again in a future invocation chef products as hab packages chef products are also distributed as hab packages when you install chef products using chef habitat those products also request license acceptance chef server products as hab packages the following chef server products are distributed as hab packages that chef habitat runs as a supervisor chef infra server chef automate chef supermarket server products are typically installed and managed by some kind of process supervisor chef server products don t allow interactive license acceptance because process supervisors don t allow interactivity instead accept the chef license during the reconfigure command or upgrade command for the omnibus ctl command command line option accept the chef license with the command line option for example chef server ctl reconfigure chef license license_option environment variable accept the chef license with an environment variable for example chef_license license_option supermarket ctl reconfigure config file you can also accept the chef license using the omnibus configuration file specify chef_license accept in the chef server rb or supermarket rb configuration chef infra client chef infra client accepts a license using a command line option environment variable or config file options chef infra
