# Changes to the Liferay licensing model

Prior to version 1.5, the first time you started the Discovery Framework, you were prompted to enter the Liferay license key.

For version 1.5, you must install the Liferay license before you start the Discovery Framework. Instead of entering a license key, you place the license file in the endeca-portal/deploy directory.

To install the license:

1. Download the license file (Discovery Framework License) from the Discovery Framework section of EDeN (http://eden.endeca.com).
2. Save the file to the endeca-portal/deploy directory of your Discovery Framework installation.

When you start the Discovery Framework, the license is installed.
