# License expiration
|
||||
|
||||
If your license has expired most of Grafana keeps working as normal. Some enterprise functionality stops or runs with reduced functionality and Grafana displays a banner informing the users that Grafana is running on an expired license. Your Grafana admin needs to upload a new license file to restore full functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
> Replace your license as soon as possible. Running Grafana Enterprise with an expired license is unsupported and can lead to unexpected consequences.
|
||||
|
||||
## Replacing your license
|
||||
|
||||
1. Locate your current `license.jwt` file. In a standard installation it is stored inside Grafana's data directory, which on a typical Linux installation is in `/var/lib/grafana/data`. This location might be overridden in the ini file [Configuration](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/installation/configuration/)
|
||||
```
|
||||
[enterprise]
|
||||
license_path = /path/to/your/license.jwt
|
||||
```
|
||||
The configuration file's location may also be overridden by the `GF_ENTERPRISE_LICENSE_PATH` environment variable.
|
||||
2. Log in to your [Grafana.com](https://grafana.com/login) user and make sure you're in the correct organization in the dropdown at the top of the page.
|
||||
3. Under the **Grafana Enterprise** section in the menu bar to the left, choose licenses and download the currently valid license with which you want to run Grafana. If you cannot see a valid license on Grafana.com, please contact your account manager at Grafana Labs to renew your subscription.
|
||||
4. Replace the current `license.jwt`-file with the one you've just downloaded.
|
||||
5. Restart Grafana.
|
||||
|
||||
## Data source permissions
|
||||
|
||||
Your current data source permissions will keep working as expected, but you'll be unable to add new data source permissions until the license has been renewed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reporting
|
||||
|
||||
- You're unable to configure new reports or generate previews.
|
||||
- Scheduled reports are not generated or sent.
|
||||
|
||||
## SAML authentication
|
||||
|
||||
SAML is not affected by an expired license.
|
||||
|
||||
## LDAP authentication
|
||||
|
||||
- LDAP synchronization is not affected by an expired license.
|
||||
- Enhanced LDAP debugging is unavailable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enterprise plugins
|
||||
|
||||
Enterprise plugins might stop working.
|
||||
|
||||
## White labeling
|
||||
|
||||
The white labeling feature is turned off, meaning that any white labeling options will not have any effect.
