| This error encountered with Chef InSpec, version 6 or higher, is specifically related to `licenses.yaml` file. | ||
| It indicates that the version of file format used in the file is either unsupported or is invalid. | ||
| It is a requirement for `licenses.yaml` file to use the latest supported file format version. |

I haven't seen a license.yaml file in the install docs in #6574. We should add reference to this file there or delete these two sections here.

We definitely need these 2 sections here because these errors can happen. So maybe we should include this on install docs. Thoughts @clintoncwolfe ?

| - Service Availability: If it's a Local Licensing Service, ensure that it's properly configured and operational. Any misconfigurations or issues with the local service could lead to connection problems. | ||

| - URL Configuration: Verify that the URL configured in Chef InSpec is correct. If the URL is configured using an environment variable, check the value for environment variable `CHEF_LICENSE_SERVER` to confirm the configured URL. |

Would the inspec license list command help with this? I ask because there's also the --chef-license-server CLI option.

I think inspec license list can not be used for this purpose. And yes we have this --chef-license-server CLI option as well, but how to check the server URL value if it was set using this CLI option? I did not have any easy resolution on this. So, I only mentioned this for ENV usage.

If someone uses the env variable, is that stored in the InSpec config file?

The value is set only in env and not in inspec config. But we store this value in licenses.yaml

I think this is ready to go aside from the merge conflict. |
