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