## About Chef Licenses

All Chef products have a license that governs the entire product and
includes links to license files for any third-party software included in
Chef packages. The `/opt/<PRODUCT-NAME>/LICENSES` directory contains
individual copies of all referenced licenses.

**Warning:**

The `chef-server-ctl install` command no longer works in the 12.5 (and
earlier) versions of the Chef server due to a change in how packages are
downloaded from Chef.
