 This setting can also be set with an environment variable, which is useful if you're running Grafana with Docker and have a custom volume where you have placed the license file. In this case, set the environment variable `GF_ENTERPRISE_LICENSE_PATH` to point to the location of your license file.

+### Root URL
+
+Update the [`root_url`](../installation/configuration/#root-url) in your configuration. It should be the URL that users type in their browsers to access the frontend, not the node hostname(s).
+
+This is important, because as part of the validation checks at startup, Grafana compares the license URL to the [`root_url`](../installation/configuration/#root-url) in your configuration. 
+
+In your configuration file:
+
+```
+[server]
+root_url = https://grafana.blah.com/
+```
+
+Or with an environment variable:
+
+```
+GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL=https://grafana.blah.com/
+```
