# Consul License
Command: `consul license`
<EnterpriseAlert />
The `license` command provides a datacenter-level view of the Consul Enterprise license. This was added
in Consul 1.1.0 but Consul 1.10.0 removed the ability to set and reset the license using the CLI.
See the [licensing documentation](/docs/enterprise/license/overview) for more information about
Consul Enterprise license management.
If ACLs are enabled then a token with operator privileges may be required in
order to use this command. Requests are forwarded internally to the leader
if required, so this can be run from any Consul node in a cluster. See the
[ACL Guide](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/security-networking/production-acls) for more information.

Usage: consul license <subcommand> [options] [args]
This command has subcommands for managing the Consul Enterprise license
Here are some simple examples, and more detailed examples are
available in the subcommands or the documentation.
Install a new license from a file:
$ consul license put @consul.license
Install a new license from stdin:
$ consul license put -
Install a new license from a string:
$ consul license put "<license blob>"
Retrieve the current license:
$ consul license get
Inspect a license:
$ consul license inspect "<path to license file>"
Reset the current license:
$ consul license reset
For more examples, ask for subcommand help or view the documentation.
Subcommands:
get Get the active license
inspect Inspect a signed license
put Puts a new license in the datacenter
reset Resets the license in the datacenter
```
## inspect
This command inspects and validates a license. Just like a Consul agent it
can load the license from a file on disk or from the `CONSUL_LICENSE` and
`CONSUL_LICENSE_PATH` environment variables.
Usage: `consul license inspect [<options>] [<license file>]`
Inspect a license contained in a file:
```
$ consul license inspect consul.hclic
```
Inspect a license loaded from the environment:
```
$ consul license inspect
```
This will look at the CONSUL_LICENSE environment variable first
and if not present then we will look for the file specified
by the CONSUL_LICENSE_PATH environment variable.
The output looks like this:
```
Source: /consul/config/consul.hclic (path from the CONSUL_LICENSE_PATH environment variable)
