I have a splunklight free instance at home. I'm using it for development and for monitoring syslogs from some local vms. Since splunklight isn't a thing anymore, I want to migrate it to splunk enterprise. I've already installed the latest version (downladed from the website), but it doesn't seem to want to allow me to migrate it to a splunk enterprise free license. It asks to upload a license file, which I can't download from the website anywhere... Now my splunk light instance is saying I have an invalid license. I've tried everything, there seems to be no path without actually purchasing a license file (which I don't need for my home environment, it's way overkill). Anyone else in the same boat? or have successfully fixed this problem? I've emailed splunk support and they've ignored me. They clearly don't care about people who don't pay for licenses.
