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.
Follow these steps to activate your Grafana Enterprise license:
Place the *license.jwt* file in Grafana's data folder. This is usually located at `/var/lib/grafana` on Linux systems.

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
### 3. Ensure that the license file's root url matches the root_url configuration option
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).
