title: 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](../install-config/upgrade.mdx) to the [2023.8.x](../../releases/) version or later.
If this is a fresh install, refer to our technical documentation for instructions on how to [install and configure authentik](../install-config/index.mdx).
- [Docker Compose installation](../install-config/install/docker-compose.mdx)
- [Kubernetes installation](../install-config/install/kubernetes.md)
## 2. Access Enterprise
Access your Enterprise features by [purchasing a license](./manage-enterprise.mdx#buy-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](https://customers.goauthentik.io/). If you do not yet have an authentik account, there is a [Sign up link](https://customers.goauthentik.io/signup) on the Customer Portal login page.
In the Customer Portal you [define your organization](./manage-enterprise.mdx#create-an-organization) and its members, manage your [licenses](./manage-enterprise.mdx#license-management) and [billing](./manage-enterprise.mdx#manage-billing), and access our [Support center](./entsupport.md).
:::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"](./entsupport.md).
