Installing the EE license on Ubuntu instance

Installation/Setup
1

Hey folks,

I’m trying to install my Kong EE license on my Ubuntu instance but Kong doesn’t seem to be recognising it.

I’m running version 2.8.2.4-enterprise-edition in dbless mode and have placed our license.json file in /etc/kong.

I have also tried declaring KONG_LICENSE_DATA and KONG_LICENSE_PATH which also do nothing.

I’ve also declared KONG_LICENSE_PATH in my kong.conf.

For each of these I restart kong and test with http :8001/licenses but I am getting this back:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Connection: keep-alive

{
    "data": [],
    "next": null
}

The license doesn’t expire till 2023-08-26.
