Get Puppet Enterprise license information using the API

You can use an API request to check the number of active nodes in your deployment and the number of licensed nodes you purchased.

Note: These steps use an internal endpoint for the console. This might not work in later versions of Puppet Enterprise. 

Version and installation information

PE version: All supported versions

Solution

To get license information, complete the following steps on the primary server. 

1. If you don’t have an RBAC token, generate one.

2. Run the following, replacing TOKEN with your RBAC token: curl -k -H "X-Authentication: TOKEN" https://$(puppet config print server)/api/license/status

   The output is similar to the following: {"status":{"activeNodes":1,"licenses":10,"licenseType":{"name":null,"licenseUrl":null,"consoleUrl":null},"complimentary":true}}
