### New Licensing for Docker Enterprise
In version 18.09, the Docker Enterprise --- Engine is aware of the license applied on the system. The

Starting in version 18.09, Docker Enterprise is aware of the license applied on the system. The license summary is available in the `docker info` output on standalone or manager nodes.
For EE platform customers, when you license UCP, this same license is applied to the underlying
engines in the cluster. Docker recommends platform customers use UCP to manage their license.
For Docker Enterprise platform customers, when you license UCP, this same license is applied to the underlying engines in the cluster. Docker recommends platform customers use UCP to manage their license.
Standalone EE engines can be licensed using `docker engine activate`.
Standalone Docker Engine - Enterprise users can license engines using `docker engine activate`.
Offline activation of standalone EE engines can be performed by downloading the license and
using the command `docker engine activate --license filename.lic`.
Offline activation of standalone Docker Engine - Enterprise can be performed by downloading the license and using the command `docker engine activate --license filename.lic`.
Additionally, Docker is now distributing the CLI as a separate installation package.
This gives Enterprise users the ability to install as many CLI packages as needed
without using the Engine node licenses for client-only systems.
