Command: license inspect

This command is only present in Nomad Enterprise.

The license inspect command is used to inspect and validate a Nomad Enterprise license. It will read the license from a file on disk or an environment variable and exit non-0 if the license is not valid with the Nomad binary.

This command should always be run with the new binary before upgrading Nomad on a server, as the server agent will not start with an invalid license.

Usage

nomad license inspect [/path/to/license.hclic]
