Install the Vault Enterprise License

Vault Enterprise requires a valid license file license.hclic to enable enterprise features, including PKCS#11-based HSM integration.

  1. Create the Vault configuration directory if it has not already been done.

# mkdir /etc/vault

2. Copy the license file to the Vault configuration path.

# mv /home/<user>/Downloads/license.hclic /etc/vault/
# chown vault:vault /etc/vault/license.hclic
# chmod 640 /etc/vault/license.hclic
