# PingCentral licensing

Licensing ensures that you are authorized to use the application and provides information about your contract terms.

You need a valid PingCentral license to access the application. After installing PingCentral, you are prompted to log in, accept the license agreement, and upload your license.

To view license information, click **Settings** at the top of the page and then **License**. The product version number, license ID, issue date, and expiration date display on the License page, as shown in this example:

If you are an IAM Administrator and your license expires, you will be prompted to upload a new license.
