# Step 4. Provide License File

At the **License** step of the wizard, do either of the following:

- Browse to a local folder on your workstation to locate the license file supplied to you by Veeam. To do that, click **Browse license file**.
- Log in to your Veeam account to upload a license file from the Veeam downloads page. To do that, click **Sigh in with Veeam**, enter the credentials of an account and choose the necessary file from the list of available licenses.

Note that you will not be able to continue installation without providing a license.

::: tip

You can instruct Orchestrator to update the license automatically. If automatic license update is enabled, Orchestrator proactively communicates with the Veeam License Update Server to obtain and install a new license before the current license expires. You can enable automatic license update later [when configuring Orchestrator](updating_license_automatically.md).
