Install a license key

Install the suite-license.lic file to upgrade from a trial installation.

  1. Install the license key by copying the file to /etc/puppetlabs/suite-license.lic on the primary server node.
  2. Verify that Puppet has permission to read the license key by checking its ownership and permissions:
    ls -la /etc/puppetlabs/suite-license.lic
  3. If the ownership is not root and permissions are not -rw-r--r-- (octal 644), set them:
    sudo chown root:root /etc/puppetlabs/suite-license.lic
    sudo chmod 644 /etc/puppetlabs/suite-license.lic
  4. Restart the console-services service after installing the license key:
    systemctl restart pe-console-services
If you run into problems installing the license file, check the log at: /var/log/puppetlabs/host-action-collector.og.
