"License not yet accepted" error after trying to upgrade to 6.0.1-189883 on Debian Linux.

I am having a problem upgrading to the latest version 6.0.1-189883 on Debian Linux. After stopping the Splunk service and installing there were no issues. I then try to start the Splunk Service again and I get this message "License not yet accepted, but executed with no-prompt flag. Exiting."

From the documentation, it tells me I should get the Terms of Service to accept, but it does not pop up.

start the service manually one
/opt/splunk/bin/splunk start
it should ask you to accept the terms of service.

or delete the file /opt/splunk/ftr used to detect the first time run.

Removing ftr did it for me as well. Upgraded from 6.4.4 to 6.6.3

Running the service is how I was getting that error message. Deleting the ftr file did the trick. Thanks!

I had the problem starting with /etc/init.d/splunk start, but with /opt/splunk/bin/splunk start it worked.
