Installing authentik is exactly the same process for both Enterprise version and our free [open source](https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik) version.
|
|
|
|
## Install Enterprise
|
|
|
|
To get started working with Enterprise authentik, upgrade to the [2023.8.x](../releases) version or later. For installation steps, refer to our [technical documentation](../installation/index.mdx) for instructions to install and configure authentik.
|
|
|
|
- [Docker Compose installation](../installation/docker-compose.mdx)
|
|
- [Kubernetes installation](../installation/kubernetes.md)
|
|
|
|
## Access Enterprise
|
|
|
|
Access your Enterprise features by first [purchasing a license](./manage-enterprise.md#buy-a-license) for the organization.
|
|
|
|
To open the Customer portal and buy a license, go to the Admin interface and in the left pane, navigate to **Enterprise -> Licenses**, and then click **Go to Customer portal**.
|
|
|
|
The license key provides direct access to the Customer portal, where you define your organization and its members, manage billing, and access our Support center.
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
A license is associated with a specific Organization in the customer portal and a specific authentik instance (with a unique Install ID), and not with individual users. A single license is purchased for a specified number of users. Additional users can be added to a license, or additional licenses purchased for the same instance, if more users need to be added later.

|
|
|
Enterprise authentik provides dedicated support, with a Support center where you can open a request and view the progress and communications for your current requests.
