 # Activating TheHive License
 
-This section provides information about updating your license for TheHive. By default, TheHive is installed with the community edition license.
+With version 5.3 and later, TheHive is provided with a 14-day **Platinum trial**, which supports up to 2 organizations and 5 users. After this trial period, TheHive transitions to read-only mode, requiring a valid license for continued full functionality. All users are required to generate a valid license on StrangeBee's portal to use the platform.
 
-To activate a different license, you need to purchase one from StrangeBee. Upon purchasing, StrangeBee will create an account for you on their customer portal, allowing you to activate your license.
+A free *Community license* with essential features is available. Paid licenses providing access to advanced features are also available, by [contacting us](https://strangebee.com/contact-strangebee/){target=_blank}.
+
+!!! Note
+    If you are already using TheHive 5.x Community version, please create your account on the License Portal before upgrading to version 5.3 or later. Without this Community License, your interface will be limited to read-only mode.
