A node is any physical, virtual, or cloud machine that is configured to be maintained by a chef-client.

Five of such nodes (usually servers) of yours can be used with chef enterprise for free.

This is explained more in detail in the documentation

  • Sorry, please stop writing in upper case, this is [interpreted as screaming](http://edtech2.boisestate.edu/mattarnetoj/502/netiquette.html) in the internet. Also your other [post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23732752/hosted-enterprise-chef-server-5node-free) got down-voted because of this. – StephenKing May 19 '14 at 09:09
  • If you bootstrap the 6th machine, then this is the 6th node and the restriction will probably not allow to let that node register at the Chef server. (don't know exactly, how it is implemented) – StephenKing May 19 '14 at 09:10

    It triggers an alert and then our sales people look at it. If it's an honest mistake, it is usually let alone. If you register like 500 nodes, we will hold the account and sales will contact you. – sethvargo May 19 '14 at 13:14
