# `/sys/license`
~> **Enterprise Only** These endpoints require Vault Enterprise.
The `/sys/license` endpoint is used to view and update the license used in
Vault.
## Read License
~> This API is deprecated as of Vault 1.8 and will be removed in a future version of Vault.
Please use [license autoloading](/docs/enterprise/license/autoloading) instead,
and see [License Status](#license-status) below for the non-deprecated equivalent API.
This endpoint returns information about the currently installed license.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :------------- |
| `GET` | `/sys/license` |
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/license
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"data": {
"expiration_time": "2017-11-14T16:34:36.546753-05:00",
"features": ["UI", "HSM", "Performance Replication", "DR Replication"],
"license_id": "temporary",
"start_time": "2017-11-14T16:04:36.546753-05:00"
},
"warnings": ["time left on license is 29m33s"]
}
```
## Read Signed License
~> This API is deprecated as of Vault 1.8 and will be removed in a future version of Vault.
Please use [license autoloading](/docs/enterprise/license/autoloading) instead.
This endpoint returns the signed license blob for the currently installed license.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :------------- |
| `GET` | `/sys/license/signed` |
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/license/signed
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"data": {
"signed": "01ABCDEFG..."
}
}
```
## Install License
~> This API is deprecated as of Vault 1.8 and will be removed in a future version of Vault.
Please use [license autoloading](/docs/enterprise/license/autoloading) instead.
This endpoint is used to install a license into Vault. The license will be
replicated to the Vault instances within the targeted cluster, but will not
replicate the license to a [performance replication](/docs/enterprise/replication) cluster. To license a
performance replication cluster, this must be run against a Vault instance within that cluster.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :------------- |
| `PUT` | `/sys/license` |
### Parameters
- `text` `(string: <required>)` The text of the license.
_DR Secondary Specific Parameters_
- `dr_operation_token` `(string: <required>)` - DR operation token used to authorize this request.
Note that this is the legacy mechanism for providing a DR operation token. It is
equally valid to provide the DR operation token in the `X-Vault-Token` header, as
with a regular vault token.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"text": "01ABCDEFG..."
}
```
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request PUT \
--data @payload.json \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/license
```
## Delete License
~> This API is deprecated as of Vault 1.8 and will be removed in a future version of Vault.
Please use [license autoloading](/docs/enterprise/license/autoloading) instead.
This endpoint is used to delete a stored license in Vault. This will return
an error unless license autoloading is in use.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :------------- |
| `DELETE` | `/sys/license` |
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request DELETE \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/license
```
## License Status
This endpoint returns information about licensing. It returns similar information
to a GET of `sys/license`, but whereas that endpoint reports solely on the
license Vault is currently using, this one reports on all licensing
information the Vault cluster has. See
[license autoloading](/docs/enterprise/license/autoloading) for background.
In the response:
* `autoloading_used` will be true if an autoloaded license was provided to the
node, false otherwise.
* `autoloaded` is the autoloaded license if autoloading_used is true.
* `persisted_autoload` is the autoloaded license the active node last wrote to
storage; this is only used to detect inconsistently licensed nodes in the
cluster. It cannot be used as a license itself.
* `stored` is the stored license if any, i.e. one written using `PUT sys/license`.
`autoloaded`, `persisted_autoload`, and `stored` all have the same structure,
which is also the same structure as the top-level `data` returned by `GET sys/license`.

| `GET` | `/sys/license/status` |
