Learn how to enable Boundary Enterprise with a valid license. Request access from an account team to enable enterprise features.

# License Boundary Enterprise
The Boundary Enterprise binaries require a license key to enforce entitlements and time restrictions according to your contractual agreement.
Once purchased, your HashiCorp account team send you a valid Boundary license for environment activation.
If you don't yet have an acccount team, but are interested in Boundary Enterprise, you can [contact sales](https://www.hashicorp.com/contact-sales).
Once you have received your valid Boundary license, there are two options for enabling Boundary Enterprise:
1. You may set the enterprise license for Boundary using an environment variable.
Set the `BOUNDARY_LICENSE` environment variable to the license key value you received:
`$ export BOUNDARY_LICENSE=02MV4UU43BK5...`
or
`$ BOUNDARY_LICENSE=file:///folder_path/license.hclic`
1. You may specify the enterprise license key in the Boundary controller configuration using the `license` attribute in the `controller` block.
You can either specify the raw license key or the path to a file containing the license key.
Refer to the sample configurations below:
**Sample #1**
```hcl
controller {
name = "controller"
description = "controller"
database {
url = "postgresql://boundary:PASSWORD@127.0.0.1:5432/boundary"
}
public_cluster_addr = "boundary.domain"
license = "file:///folder_path/license.hclic"
}
```
**Sample #2**
```hcl
controller {
name = "controller"
description = "controller"
database {
url = "postgresql://boundary:PASSWORD@127.0.0.1:5432/boundary"
}
public_cluster_addr = "boundary.domain"
license = "02MV4UU43BK5..."
}
```
Refer to the [controller](/boundary/docs/configuration/controller) configuration documentation for more information.
