# Installing License from Control Panel

When you launch the Veeam Agent control panel for the first time, Veeam Agent offers you to install a license at the [License](ini_setup_license_install.md) step of the initial setup wizard.

::: important

Before you start installing the license, make sure that Veeam Agent is not connected to a Veeam backup server. Otherwise, the license may be managed by Veeam Backup & Replication.

:::

To install a license using the Veeam Agent control panel:

1. Launch the Veeam Agent control panel with the `veeam` or `veeamconfig ui` command.
2. In the Veeam Agent control panel, press the [M] key to open the **Miscellaneous** menu.
3. In the menu, make sure that the **Manage** **License** option is selected and press [Enter].

4. If you are installing license for the first time, you will get straight to Step 5. If you previously uninstalled the license, you will see the *No license installed* message. In the **Manage license** window, make sure that the **Install** button is selected and press [Enter].

5. In the **Choose license** window, in the **File location** field, specify a path to the license key:

   1. Select the **Browse** option with the [Tab] key and press [Space] or [Enter].
   2. In the **Choose license file location** window, select the necessary directory and press [Enter].
   3. Repeat Step 'b' until the path to the directory in which the license key file resides appears in the **Current directory** field.

   ::: tip

   If you chose to install the license using the initial setup wizard, after you accept the license agreements, you will pass to the **Choose license** step of the license installation wizard.

   :::

6. Veeam Agent will install the license and display a window notifying that the license is successfully installed. Press [Enter] to finish the license installation process.

::: tip

After you install a license, you can view information about the license (expiration date, status of the license, current functionality mode of the product and so on) in the **Manage license** window. You can also check information about the license using the Veeam Agent command line interface. To learn more, see [Viewing License](license_manage_cmd_view.md).
