> [!Note]
> **CLI help documentation bug in v3.2.0**
> The `influxdb3 show license --help` output in v3.2.0 does not display the required `--object-store`, `--cluster-id`, and `--node-id` options and related object store configuration options.

The `influxdb3 show license --help` output in v3.2.0 does not display the required `--object-store`, `--cluster-id`, and `--node-id` options and related object store configuration options.
This command requires object store configuration and cluster/node identification to function properly.

### Additional object store options

Depending on the `--object-store` type specified, additional configuration options may be required:

* **S3**: AWS credentials and bucket configuration
* **GCS**: Google Cloud credentials and bucket configuration
* **Azure**: Azure credentials and container configuration
* **File**: Local file system path configuration

### Option environment variables

You can use the following environment variables to set command options:

| Environment Variable | Option  |
|----------------------|---------|
| `INFLUXDB3_HOST_URL` |`--host` |
|`INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN`|`--token`|

## Examples

### Display license information with file object store

```bash
influxdb3 show license \
  --cluster-id CLUSTER_ID \
  --node-id NODE_ID \
  --object-store file \
  --token AUTH_TOKEN
```

In the example above, replace the following:

* `AUTH_TOKEN`:
  Authentication token
* `CLUSTER_ID`:
  Your cluster identifier
* `NODE_ID`:
  Your node identifier

The command displays information about your Enterprise license, including license type, expiration date, and usage limits.
