»/sys/license/status

Enterprise Only – These endpoints require Vault Enterprise.

The /sys/license/status endpoint is used to view update the license used in Vault.

»License Status

This endpoint returns information about licensing. See license autoloading for additional background.

In the response:

  • autoloading_used will be true if an autoloaded license was provided to the node, false otherwise. This should always be true from Vault 1.11.0 onward.
  • autoloaded is the autoloaded license if autoloading_used is true.
  • persisted_autoload is the autoloaded license the active node last wrote to storage; this is only used to detect inconsistently licensed nodes in the cluster. It cannot be used as a license itself.
  • stored was used for the stored license prior to Vault 1.11.0. Stored licenses are no longer supported.

autoloaded, and persisted_autoload will both have the same structure.
