## License commands {#description}

SILO uses AGPLv3. License commands preserve legacy command syntax and cannot
purchase or activate a MinIO commercial subscription.

| Command                                 | Behavior                                                                     |
| --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `mcli license info ALIAS`               | Display locally stored license information without SUBNET access             |
| `mcli license unregister ALIAS`         | Clear local license registration state                                       |
| `mcli license update ALIAS license.key` | Retain the explicit local-file path; acceptance depends on the target server |
| `mcli license update ALIAS`             | Online renewal disabled, exit 1                                              |
| `mcli license register ALIAS`           | Registration disabled, exit 1                                                |
{.wide .expand}

## Syntax {#syntax}

Use `mcli license COMMAND --help` for flags accepted by the installed version.
Legacy `--airgap` and API-key flags cannot re-enable online registration/renewal.
Ordinary object storage and diagnostics do not require SUBNET registration.
