Deploying Enterprise Edition using the standard Enterprise Edition Helm Chart.
Modified values.yaml to include the valid values in key - mattermostLicense
Excerpt—
global:
mattermostLicense: “A Valid License Key”
When the chart deploys, logs indicate
“We could not find the license key in the database or on disk at”,“filename”:“/mattermost/config/mattermost.mattermost-license”}
Logging into the pod and checking finds no license file in /mattermost/config/ but the license file is created in /mattermost with the correct data in the file

Suggest that either the default location for the license file be changed (it is set to /mattermost/config and can be changed with a config.json entry but not through values.yaml) or create the file in the proper location with the helm deployment or allow the config.json key LicenseFileLocation be set from within the values.yaml.
