I finally did the major upgrade, figuring that 2.1.x is ready and able for our site. The upgrade went smoothly after I copied our old Settings.php into the smf root folder. However, I get this annoying message: Warning!!! You are requiring new users to accept a registration agreement; however, the file (agreement.txt) does not exist. I browsed around the Configuration and could not figure out how to turn this off.
To change the requirement for new users to accept the registration agreement and/or privacy policy you can update the settings via Administration Center > Registration > Settings.

Hello nc3man,
You can get the agreement.txt from the SMF install package. Just upload it to the root of your SMF directory. That should get rid of the error that you are reporting.
If you do not want a registration agreement to be required -
Go to Admin CP > Members > Registration > Settings
uncheck "Require new members to accept the registration agreement."
Edit : I'm too slow, GL already replied XD .
Thanks - I just disabled it. Btw, there is no agreement.txt in the UPGRADE package, which is what I grabbed instead of a fresh install package. I uploaded the full upgrade package, smf_2-1-2_upgrade.zip (Large Upgrade from https://download.simplemachines.org/), so I would have had it if it were included. I just downloaded the full install for 2.1.2 and besides the upgrade scripts and sql in the root directory, the upgrade package lacks just two files, agreement.txt and Settings.php. Makes sense, since both of these would likely be site-specific and you wouldn't want the upgrade to overwrite. A quick mention of that in the upgrade instructions would be useful.

Thank you - not sure how I missed such an obvious location
