# Enterprise licenses

> Learn about W&B Enterprise licenses, what features they include, and how to obtain and configure them.

An Enterprise license unlocks W\&B features designed for organizations that need enhanced capabilities in areas of security, compliance, or administration. See the list of [Enterprise features](#enterprise-features).

An Enterprise license includes the following:

* **Security**: Enhanced authentication, encryption, and access controls.
* **Compliance**: Audit logging, HIPAA compliance options, and data governance controls.
* **Administration**: User management features like SCIM provisioning, custom roles, and automation capabilities.

This page is for administrators responsible for W\&B deployments. It explains what Enterprise features are available, how to obtain a license, and how to configure and verify it for your deployment.

## Deployment options

Enterprise licenses are available for W\&B Dedicated Cloud and Self-Managed deployments. The configuration steps differ depending on which deployment you use.

* [W\&B Dedicated Cloud](/platform/hosting/hosting-options/dedicated-cloud) provides dedicated, isolated infrastructure managed by W\&B, deployed in Google Cloud. Dedicated Cloud deployments automatically include an Enterprise license. You don't need to configure anything, and all Enterprise features become available as soon as W\&B provisions your deployment.
* [W\&B Self-Managed](/platform/hosting/hosting-options/self-managed) deploys on your own infrastructure, providing full control over your deployment and data. W\&B Self-Managed supports air-gapped deployments. Without an Enterprise license, [Enterprise features](#enterprise-features) are unavailable.

## Obtain an Enterprise license

How you obtain an Enterprise license depends on your deployment type. Select the tab that matches your use case to continue.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Dedicated Cloud">
    W\&B Dedicated Cloud includes an Enterprise license, and no action is required. [Start an Enterprise trial](https://wandb.ai/site/for-enterprise/dedicated-saas-trial/) or contact [Sales](https://wandb.ai/site/contact-sales) to discuss your requirements.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Self-Managed">
    Request an Enterprise license:

    * **Evaluation**: Submit the [Request a trial license](https://wandb.ai/site/for-enterprise/self-hosted-trial) form or contact [Sales](mailto:sales@wandb.ai) to discuss your requirements.
    * **Production**: Contact [Sales](https://wandb.ai/site/contact-sales) to discuss your deployment requirements and sizing, and to receive your license details.

    <Warning>Store license keys securely and treat them as sensitive credentials.</Warning>
  </Tab>

## Configure an Enterprise license

<Info>This section is relevant only for W\&B Self-Managed. Dedicated Cloud deployments don't require manual configuration.</Info>

After you [obtain an Enterprise license](#obtain-an-enterprise-license), you can configure it programmatically as part of your deployment or in the W\&B App after deployment. Select the tab that matches your deployment method.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Kubernetes Operator">
    1. Update your `operator.yaml` (the `WeightsAndBiases` custom resource) to set the license. Replace `[YOUR-LICENSE-KEY]` with the license key you received from W\&B:

       ```yaml theme={null}
       spec:
         values:
           global:
             license: "[YOUR-LICENSE-KEY]"
       ```

    2. Apply the updated configuration:
       ```bash theme={null}
       kubectl apply -f operator.yaml
       ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Terraform">
    1. Update your Terraform variables. Replace `[YOUR-LICENSE-KEY]` with the license key you received from W\&B:

       ```hcl theme={null}
       variable "license" {
         default = "[YOUR-LICENSE-KEY]"
       }
       ```

    2. Apply the Terraform configuration:
       ```bash theme={null}
       terraform apply -var="license=$LICENSE_KEY"
       ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="W&B App">
    For existing deployments without environment variable configuration:

    1. Log in as an admin user.
    2. Navigate to **System Settings**.
    3. Find the **License** section.
    4. Enter your new license key.
    5. Save the changes.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Docker">
    <Warning>Deploying W\&B on Docker is deprecated. W\&B strongly encourages migrating to a [Kubernetes Operator]() deployment managed by Helm or Terraform. Refer to [Reference architecture](/platform/hosting/self-managed/ref-arch.mdx) or contact [Support](mailto:support@wandb.ai) for guidance.</Warning>
    Set the `LICENSE` environment variable. Replace `[YOUR-LICENSE-KEY]` with the license key you received from W\&B:

    ```bash theme={null}
    docker run -d \
      -e LICENSE="[YOUR-LICENSE-KEY]" \
      -e OTHER_ENV_VARS \
      wandb/local
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Next, [verify your Enterprise license](#verify-and-manage-an-enterprise-license).

## Verify and manage an Enterprise license

After you configure a license, verify that it's active and review its entitlements. As an instance or organization admin, follow these steps:

1. In the W\&B App, click your user profile icon in the top right, then click **System Console**.
2. Go to the **License** tab. A dashboard summarizes the license entitlements, expiration, and usage over time. If you see an error, see [Common issues](#common-issues).
3. For detailed information about the license and its entitlements, click **View license online**.

   From this page, you can also order a new trial or production license. At the top of the page, click **New license order** and submit the form.
4. To renew an expired license or to update the license key, click **Update License**.

<Tip>
  To ensure uninterrupted service, W\&B contacts you:

  * 30 days before the license expires.
  * When the license has expired.
</Tip>
