Here is the instruction to install the Marvel License Upgrade:

\<curl -XPUT -u admin 'http://:/\_license' -d @license.json\>

I am running WIN10. Where exactly do I enter the above, and what form of it is suitable for WIN10;  
considering that:

1. It won't run on WIN10 command com / shell
2. I can't (or don't know how) to connect directly to ES other than from a Browser URL window  
Thanks

You need to install curl in your Windows machine.  
I'm not sure what native command you could use.

Precisely: how to install curl in windows machine! And what if any native command that I could use.  
There have to be folks in this forum who are WINDOWS users.  
Help!

A search on internet gave this as the first link: [http://curl.haxx.se/download.html](http://curl.haxx.se/download.html)

But, as a former Windows user, I do not recommend using curl on windows.  
Use SENSE or any REST plugin for your browser.

POSTMAN is a good plugin if you don't do sense.

Thanks. You helped solve the problem: I went against your advice (out of exasperation) and installed the appropriate stable version of CURL.

1. CURL installed correctly on my WIN10 64bit machine and runs fine.
2. I was able to use CURL to upgrade the Marvel License following curl'ed instructions.  
(P.S: I also installed REST prior to installing CURL: had same problems with all the browsers that I reported here earlier)  
So this particular problem was solved by sticking with CURL.  
(I have since run into another problem with WIN10 and bootstrapping with syscall which is preventing ES-Marvel from starting up--see my latest problem post).  
Thanks, again!
