I used a new eval license to create the chef delivery cluster (using SSH cookbook).
All the servers are configured and connected properly ( I can see all the servers in 'Chef server' UI).
However, when I login to delivery server, I see below message:
Time flies when you're having fun!
Your evaluation period for Chef Delivery has expired. To continue working with Delivery, email us at awesome@chef.io. We'll get you back on the road.
I logged in to the server and verified that the license file is present at:
When did you first activate Delivery? Even a new license key will not extend the evaluation period. Let’s first figure out when your initial activation took place and we can go from there.
Thanks for the help. changing the mode to 755 resolved the issue.
Just as a clarification, the original file copied by the delivery-cluster recipe had READ permission. The initial launch of the application complained of the expired license. However, the issue is resolved now.
