## Consul 1.10.0 <EnterpriseAlert inline />
Consul Enterprise 1.10 has removed temporary licensing capabilities from the binaries
found on https://releases.hashicorp.com. Servers will no longer load a license previously
set through the CLI or API. Instead the license must be present in the server's configuration
or environment prior to starting. See the [licensing documentation](/docs/enterprise#licensing)
for more information about how to configure the license. Client agents previously retrieved their
license from the servers in the cluster within 30 minutes of starting and the snapshot agent
would similarly retrieve its license from the server or client agent it was configured to use. As
of Consul Enterprise 1.10 both the snapshot agent and client agent have gained the ability to
have a license loaded from a configuration file or from their environment the same way server
agents must have the license specified. Both agents can still perform automatic retrieval of their
license but with a few extra stipulations. First, license auto-retrieval now requires that ACLs
are on and that the client or snapshot agent is configured with a valid ACL token. Secondly, client
agents require that either the [`start_join`](/docs/agent/opts#start_join) or
[`retry_join`](/docs/agent/opts#retry_join) configurations are set and that they resolve to server
agents. If those stipulations are not met, attempting to start the client or snapshot agent will
result in it immediately shutting down.
### Migration <EnterpriseAlert inline />
Prior to upgrading Consul Enterprise to v1.10 you should ensure the license is set in all the right places.
In general following these steps should be all thats necessary to ensure a smooth upgrade.
1. Retrieve the existing license from your existing cluster by running `consul license get -signed`
2. Ensure that the license is configured on all your servers by setting the one of the `license_path`
configuration item, the `CONSUL_LICENSE_PATH` environment variable or the `CONSUL_LICENSE`
environment variable.
3. If ACLs are not in use or if not all client agents are configured with the necessary `start_join` /
`retry_join` configurations pointing to servers, then repeat step 2 for all client agents.
4. If ACLs are not in use then repeat step 2 for all snapshot agents.
5. Now proceed with the [standard upgrade procedure](/docs/upgrading#standard-upgrades).
