With this command you may apply an existing Docker enterprise license, or interactively download one from Docker. In the interactive exchange, you can sign up for a new trial, or download an existing license. If you are currently running a Community Edition engine, the daemon will be updated to the Enterprise Edition Docker engine with additional capabilities and long term support.

For non-interactive scriptable deployments, download your license from https://hub.docker.com/ then specify the file with the ‘--license’ flag.
