### License file management

To download your Grafana Enterprise license log in to your [Grafana Cloud Account](https://grafana.com) and go to your **Org Profile**. In the side menu there is a section for Grafana Enterprise licenses. At the bottom of the license details page there is **Download Token** link that will download the *license.jwt* file containing your license.

Place the *license.jwt* file in Grafana's data folder. This is usually located at `/var/lib/grafana` on Linux systems.

You can also configure a custom location for the license file via the ini setting:

```bash
[enterprise]
license_path = /company/secrets/license.jwt
```

This setting can also be set with an environment variable, which is useful if you're running Grafana with Docker and have a custom volume where you have placed the license file. In this case, set the environment variable `GF_ENTERPRISE_LICENSE_PATH` to point to the location of your license file.

### Root URL

Update the [`root_url`](../administration/configuration/#root-url) in your configuration. It should be the URL that users type in their browsers to access the frontend, not the node hostname(s).

This is important, because as part of the validation checks at startup, Grafana compares the license URL to the [`root_url`](../administration/configuration/#root-url) in your configuration. 

In your configuration file:

```
[server]
root_url = https://grafana.blah.com/
```

Or with an environment variable:

```
GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL=https://grafana.blah.com/
```
