Hi raindrop18, As jkat54 mentioned --accept-license is key, but I like to go a bit further with :

/opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk start --accept-license --answer-yes --no-prompt

to make sure nothing stands in the way.

Please let me know if this answers your question!

This worked for me - you can also add it to the restart command after an upgrade :
/opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk restart --accept-license --answer-yes --no-prompt

Add --accept-license to the startup command
