# License expiration
If your license has expired most of Grafana keeps working as normal. Some enterprise functionality stops or runs with reduced functionality and Grafana displays a banner informing the users that Grafana is running on an expired license. Your Grafana admin needs to upload a new license file to restore full functionality.
> Replace your license as soon as possible. Running Grafana Enterprise with an expired license is unsupported and can lead to unexpected consequences.
## Replacing your license
1. Locate your current `license.jwt` file. In a standard installation it is stored inside Grafana's data directory, which on a typical Linux installation is in `/var/lib/grafana/data`. This location might be overridden in the ini file [Configuration](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/installation/configuration/)
```
[enterprise]
license_path = /path/to/your/license.jwt
```
The configuration file's location may also be overridden by the `GF_ENTERPRISE_LICENSE_PATH` environment variable.
2. Log in to your [Grafana.com](https://grafana.com/login) user and make sure you're in the correct organization in the dropdown at the top of the page.
3. Under the **Grafana Enterprise** section in the menu bar to the left, choose licenses and download the currently valid license with which you want to run Grafana. If you cannot see a valid license on Grafana.com, please contact your account manager at Grafana Labs to renew your subscription.
4. Replace the current `license.jwt`-file with the one you've just downloaded.
5. Restart Grafana.
## Data source permissions
Your current data source permissions will keep working as expected, but you'll be unable to add new data source permissions until the license has been renewed.
## Reporting
- You're unable to configure new reports or generate previews.
- Scheduled reports are not generated or sent.
## SAML authentication
SAML is not affected by an expired license.
## LDAP authentication
- LDAP synchronization is not affected by an expired license.
- Enhanced LDAP debugging is unavailable.
## Enterprise plugins
Enterprise plugins might stop working.
## White labeling
The white labeling feature is turned off, meaning that any white labeling options will not have any effect.
