obtained at [this page](https://victoriametrics.com/products/enterprise/trial/):
```sh
wget https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/download/v1.98.0/victoria-metrics-linux-amd64-v1.98.0-enterprise.tar.gz
tar -xzf victoria-metrics-linux-amd64-v1.98.0-enterprise.tar.gz
./victoria-metrics-prod -license=BASE64_ENCODED_LICENSE_KEY

The example assumes that the license file is stored at `/vm-license` on the host.
### Helm charts
It is allowed to run VictoriaMetrics Enterprise components in [cases listed here](#valid-cases-for-victoriametrics-enterprise).
Helm charts for VictoriaMetrics Enterprise components are available [here](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts).

```yaml
server:
image:
tag: v1.98.0-enterprise

key: license
```
Example secret with license key:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: vm-license
type: Opaque
data:
license: {BASE64_ENCODED_LICENSE_KEY}
```
Or create secret via `kubectl`:
```sh
kubectl create secret generic vm-license --from-literal=license={BASE64_ENCODED_LICENSE_KEY}
```

kind: VMSingle
metadata:
name: example-vmsingle
spec:
retentionPeriod: "1"
license:
key: {BASE64_ENCODED_LICENSE_KEY}
image:
tag: v1.98.0-enterprise

## Monitoring license expiration
All the VictoriaMetrics Enterprise components expose the following metrics at the `/metrics` page:
* `vm_license_expires_at` - license expiration date in unix timestamp format
* `vm_license_expires_in_seconds` - the number of seconds left until the license expires
Example alerts for [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html) based on these metrics:
```yaml
groups:
- name: vm-license
# note the `job` label and update accordingly to your setup
rules:
- alert: LicenseExpiresInLessThan30Days
expr: vm_license_expires_in_seconds < 30 * 24 * 3600
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "{{ $labels.job }} instance {{ $labels.instance }} license expires in less than 30 days"
description: "{{ $labels.instance }} of job {{ $labels.job }} license expires in {{ $value | humanizeDuration }}.
Please make sure to update the license before it expires."
- alert: LicenseExpiresInLessThan7Days
expr: vm_license_expires_in_seconds < 7 * 24 * 3600
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: "{{ $labels.job }} instance {{ $labels.instance }} license expires in less than 7 days"
description: "{{ $labels.instance }} of job {{ $labels.job }} license expires in {{ $value | humanizeDuration }}.
