# Installing License

To install a license, use the following command:

```
veeamconfig license install --path <path> --workstation
```

or

```
veeamconfig license install --path <path> --server
```

where:

- `<path>` — path to the license key file in the local file system of your computer.
- `workstation` or `server` — edition in which Veeam Agent will operate. To learn more about editions, see [Product Editions](license_modes.md).

Veeam Agent for Mac will install the license and display information about the license. You can also view this information later at any time. To learn more, see [Viewing License Information](license_manage_cmd_view.md).

For example:

```
user@wrk01:~$ veeamconfig license install --path /Users/user/Desktop/veeam.lic --server 
License was installed successfully.
License information:
  License source: Local license
  Mode: Server
  Support expiration: 2024/09/20 (311 days left)
  Status: License is valid.
  Issued to: TechCompany
  E-mail: administrators@tech.com
```

::: tip

If you work with Veeam Agent operating in the managed mode, you can manage a license only from the Veeam Backup & Replication console. To learn more, see [Managing Instance Consumption by Veeam Agents](manage_instance_consumption.md).
