## Vault Enterprise Licenses
A Vault Enterprise license needs to be applied to a Vault cluster
in order to use Vault Enterprise features.
The license can be applied to a cluster from any server in it with this command.
```shell-session
$ vault write sys/license text="01MV4UU43BK5HGYYTOJZWFQM..."
```
You could also use the Vault HTTP API against the [`sys/license`](/api-docs/system/license)
endpoint.
