Get started with Enterprise

Installing authentik is exactly the same process for both the Enterprise version and our open source version.

1. Install Enterprise

To get started working with Enterprise authentik, upgrade to the 2023.8.x version or later.

If this is a fresh install, refer to our technical documentation for instructions on how to install and configure authentik.

2. Access Enterprise

Access your Enterprise features by purchasing 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.

Alternatively you can open a new browser window and go directly to the Customer Portal. If you do not yet have an authentik account, there is a Sign up link on the Customer Portal login page.

In the Customer Portal you define your organization and its members, manage your licenses and 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. :::

3. Visit the Support center

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.

:::info Access to the Support center and the ticketing system requires a licensed instance of authentik. :::

To learn about our Support center, see "Enterprise support".
