# Installing the Liferay license

The Discovery Framework is built upon the Liferay Portal Enterprise Edition. Before you can start the Discovery Framework, you must install the Liferay license, which is available from the Endeca Developer Network (EDeN).

To install the license:

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.
