# License Activation

> How to activate your Formbricks Enterprise License

To unlock Formbricks Enterprise Edition features, you need to activate your Enterprise License Key. Follow these steps to activate your license:

**1. Set the License Key**

Add your Enterprise License Key as an environment variable in your deployment:

```bash theme={null}
ENTERPRISE_LICENSE_KEY=
```

* Add your Enterprise License Key after `ENTERPRISE_LICENSE_KEY=` with the key you received from Formbricks.
* How you set environment variables depends on your deployment (Docker, Kubernetes, .env file, etc.).

**2. Restart Your Instance**

After setting the environment variable, **restart your Formbricks instance** to apply the changes.

**3. Verify License Activation**

To verify if your license is active, visit **Settings → Organization → Enterprise License** to check the confirmation screen.

**4. Ensure License Server is Reachable**

Your Formbricks instance performs a daily license check to verify your Enterprise License. If you're deploying Formbricks behind a firewall or have network restrictions, you need to whitelist the following:

* **Domain**: `ee.formbricks.com`
* **URL**: `https://ee.formbricks.com/api/licenses/check`
* **Protocol**: HTTPS (Port 443)
* **Method**: POST
* **Frequency**: Every 24 hours

The license check includes a 3-day grace period. If a check fails temporarily — or reports your key as expired — your instance continues using its cached license information for up to 3 days before falling back to the Community Edition.

If you have questions or need assistance with network configuration, please reach out to [hola@formbricks.com](mailto:hola@formbricks.com).
