[AI Governance](/beta-docs/ai-coder/ai-governance/). See our
[pricing page](https://coder.com/pricing) for more details. To try paid

## Offline license validation [#offline-license-validation]

Coder license keys are signed JWTs that are validated locally using cryptographic
signatures. No outbound connection to Coder's servers is required for license
validation. This means licenses work in
[air-gapped and offline deployments](/beta-docs/install/airgap/) without any
additional configuration.

## Adding your license key [#adding-your-license-key]

There are two ways to add a license to a Coder deployment:

    4. Log in to your Coder deployment:

       ```sh
       coder login <access url>
       ```

    5. Run `coder licenses add`:

       * For a `.jwt` license file:

         ```sh
         coder licenses add -f <path to your license key>
         ```

       * For a text string:

         ```
  </Tab>

### How we calculate license seat consumption [#how-we-calculate-license-seat-consumption]

Licenses are consumed based on the status of user accounts.
Only users who have been active in the last 90 days consume license seats.

Consult the [user status documentation](/beta-docs/admin/users/#user-status) for more information about active, dormant, and suspended user statuses.
