+## Applying a New License for your SAS Viya Platform Deployment
+
+### Symptom:
+
+You have an existing SAS Viya platform deployment that was created using the viya4-deployment project, and you have a new license that you would like to apply to your deployment.
+
+### Solution:
+
+After downloading the license file perform the following steps:
+
+1. Set `V4_CFG_LICENSE` to path where your license file is located. Note, it is a `.jwt` file.
+2. Using viya4-deployment rerun the `viya,install` tasks to regenerate your `kustomization.yaml` that will now have an updated reference to the new license file, generate the SASDeployment custom resource file, and apply it into your cluster.
+3. You will see your license file referenced in the `kustomization.yaml` as a generator, look for `site-config/vdm/generators/sas-license.yaml`
+
+Information about licenses from the [SAS Viya Platform Operations Guide](https://documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=itopscdc&cdcVersion=default&docsetId=k8sag&docsetTarget=n14rkqa3cycmd0n1ub50k47x7lbb.htm)
+
+Note, these steps are only applicable for updating your license file, if you are going to be updating the SAS deployment or including additional products in your order we recommend that your perform your update manually. See this note in the [README](https://github.com/sassoftware/viya4-deployment#updating-sas-viya-manually)
