you can't see the double quote (to protect my data string after the -d option) in my previous command because this editor remove them. my command (i am under windows ) is : curl -XPUT -u elastic '[http://127.0.0.1:9200/\_xpack/license](http://127.0.0.1:9200/_xpack/license)' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d { license\":{\"uid\":\"3def8f53-71bc-41a9-85fa-3d2259ae5e9c\",\"type\":\"basic\",\"issue\_date\_in\_millis\":1507248000000,\"expiry\_date\_in\_millis\":1538870399999,\"max\_nodes\":100,\"issued\_to\":\"jerome azais (Spie)\",\"issuer\":\"Web Form\",\"signature\":\"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\",\"start\_date\_in\_millis\":1507248000000}} ---

it's okay no, in fact the tformat is due to powershell itself, with cmd interpreter i have not the tformat issue. i need to change simple quotes by double quotes inside the provide command (in elastic guide line [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.6/installing-license.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.6/installing-license.html) ) like that : curl -XPUT -u elastic "[http://127.0.0.1:9200/\_xpack/license](http://127.0.0.1:9200/_xpack/license)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @\ i have not powsershell in version number 3 that is the reason i have not used the get-content command for windows because Invoke-WebRequest is missing in powershell 2. to conclude my previous command is running fine under cmd(dos) interpreter instead of use powershell So this topics can be solved , thanks a lot Mark for your help ---

Next time it's good to use `` to code format things, that way it won't remove anything 🙂 ---
