A license key activates the Enterprise features available to your self-hosted instance, such as CSC signing, SSO, embed white-labelling, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
<Callout type="info">
The license key applies to your **whole instance**, not an individual user account. There's one
key per deployment.
</Callout>
## Prerequisites
- An active Enterprise license key — contact [sales](https://documen.so/enterprise) to set up an
Enterprise subscription, then copy your key from [license.documenso.com](https://license.documenso.com).
See [Enterprise Edition](/docs/policies/enterprise-edition) for details.
- A running self-hosted Documenso instance that you're able to restart
## Step 1: Set the environment variable
Set `NEXT_PRIVATE_DOCUMENSO_LICENSE_KEY` to your license key.
<Tabs items={['Docker Compose', 'docker run', '.env']}>
<Tab value="Docker Compose">
Add the variable to your `.env` file (or directly under `environment:` in `compose.yml`):
```bash
NEXT_PRIVATE_DOCUMENSO_LICENSE_KEY=your-license-key-here
```
Then apply it:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
</Tab>
<Tab value="docker run">
```bash
docker run -d \
--name documenso \
-e NEXT_PRIVATE_DOCUMENSO_LICENSE_KEY=your-license-key-here \
documenso/documenso:latest
```
</Tab>
<Tab value=".env">
If you're running Documenso directly (not in a container), add the variable to your `.env` file:
```bash
NEXT_PRIVATE_DOCUMENSO_LICENSE_KEY=your-license-key-here
```
</Tab>
</Tabs>
## Step 2: Restart the instance
The license key is only read once, at process startup. Setting the variable in a running container or shell has no effect until the process restarts.
```bash
# Docker Compose
docker compose restart documenso
# Docker
docker restart documenso
```
On startup, Documenso validates the key against the Documenso license server and caches the result locally for future startups, so a brief license-server outage won't lock you out.
## What the license enables
A valid license doesn't turn every enterprise feature on everywhere — activation depends on the feature:
- **CSC signing** activates instance-wide automatically once the license is active and CSC transport is configured. See [CSC / QES Signing](/docs/self-hosting/configuration/signing-certificate/csc-qes) for the full setup.
- **SSO, embed white-labelling, 21 CFR Part 11, and similar** are provisioned per organisation. Follow each feature's own guide to configure it once the license is active.
## Troubleshooting
<Accordions type="multiple">
<Accordion title="Enterprise features are still unavailable after applying the key">
- Confirm the key is present in the environment the running process actually reads — `docker
exec` into the container and check `env | grep LICENSE` if unsure.
- Confirm the instance was fully restarted after the variable was set, not just reloaded.
- Re-copy the key to rule out truncation or accidental whitespace.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="A specific feature still isn't working">
Instance-wide features (like CSC signing) also need their own configuration — an active license
alone isn't enough. Check that feature's guide to confirm the required settings are in place.
Per-organisation features additionally need to be provisioned for the organisation that's using
them.
