+
+This utility lets you interact with your current active license, or with new licenses without needing to import them first. You can also directly apply the license to make the changes effective using `--apply`. Applying changes with the `ghe-license` utility avoids a configuration run and only restarts the affected services.

+You can review the possible commands and flags using `ghe-license -h`.
+
+Alternatively, you can manage licenses using the REST API or the {% data variables.product.prodname_cli %}. See "[AUTOTITLE](/rest/enterprise-admin/manage-ghes)" and "[AUTOTITLE](/admin/administering-your-instance/administering-your-instance-from-the-command-line/administering-your-instance-using-the-github-cli)."
