# Syntax
The license key can be replaced using:
```
local load license "FILENAME/PATH"
```
When the license key is being altered, a currently open database is closed first. Please connect again to a database after loading the license.
The filename/path must refer to a file with an Invantive license key.
# Examples
The following example loads the license key contained in the file `c:\temp\my_subscription.lic` as the key to be used in the future:
```
local load license "c:\temp\my_subscription.lic"
```
