marvel basic licence installation

I am trying to install the free basic licence onto marvel for my elasticsearch cluster. I followed the instructions here https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/license-management.html and ran the following command

> curl -XPUT 'http://es-master-01:9200/_license' -d @license.json

I didn't use the -u flag as I don't have shield. I got the following error

{"acknowledged":false,"license_status":"valid","acknowledge":{"message":"This license update requires acknowledgement. To acknowledge the license, please read the following messages and update the license again, this time with the \"acknowledge=true\" parameter:","marvel":["basic"]}}

I also tried 

curl -XPUT 'http://host:port/_license&acknowledge=true' -d @mylicense.json

as I saw it suggested elsewhere but that didn't work for me either.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
