# stack es license get cli command
<cli-modifiers>
</cli-modifiers>

```bash
elastic stack es license get [options]
```

Get license information.
**Behaviour flags:**
`--dry-run` — validate all inputs and exit without performing any action

## Options

<definitions>
  <definition term="--accept-enterprise">
    If `true`, this parameter returns enterprise for Enterprise license types. If `false`, this parameter returns platinum for both platinum and enterprise license types. This behavior is maintained for backwards compatibility.
    This parameter is deprecated and will always be set to true in 8.x.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--local">
    Specifies whether to retrieve local information.
    From 9.2 onwards the default value is `true`, which means the information is retrieved from the responding node.
    In earlier versions the default is `false`, which means the information is retrieved from the elected master node.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--error-trace">
    When set to `true` Elasticsearch will include the full stack trace of errors
    when they occur.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--filter-path string">
    Comma-separated list of filters in dot notation which reduce the response
    returned by Elasticsearch.
    **Repeatable:** pass `--filter-path` multiple times to supply more than one value
  </definition>
  <definition term="--human">
    When set to `true` will return statistics in a format suitable for humans.
    For example `"exists_time": "1h"` for humans and
    `"exists_time_in_millis": 3600000` for computers. When disabled the human
    readable values will be omitted. This makes sense for responses being consumed
    only by machines.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--pretty">
    If set to `true` the returned JSON will be "pretty-formatted". Only use
    this option for debugging only.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--input-file string">
    path to a JSON file to use as command input
  </definition>
  <definition term="--dry-run">
    validate all inputs and exit without performing any action (preview changes without applying them)
  </definition>
</definitions>
