Premium X-Pack license without API

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Background
Im on ES v6.3.2
I have platinum license, and I know how to upgrade to it via licensing API

Pertaining to question
From the docs at elastic.co (docs):

You can configure this licensing setting in the elasticsearch.yml file ...

xpack.license.self_generated.type

Set to basic (default) to enable basic X-Pack features.

Question
I want to set the license to the platinum license that I have upon starting up Elasticsearch. Can I add something in Elasticsearch.yml file to do this ("xpack.license: @license.json" or something)?

If you have a Platinum license you can always contact support for any questions you have :slight_smile:

Have you tried the steps in here https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.5/update-license.html? What problems are you having with them?

Well these steps upgrade the license using the license API. And I wanted to configure license settings before starting up Elasticsearch service for the purpose of automated ES cluster creation. Yes, I can use the API. I just thought that there might/should be some way to include the license as a setting before starting the Elastic service.

There's not sorry.
