The `show`` ``license` command displays information about the licenses installed on NIOS appliances, vNIOS appliances, and Orchestration Servers. For information, refer to the *Infoblox* *NIOS* *Administrator* *Guide*. You can use this command to view licenses that were transferred from one vNIOS on VMware appliance to another. For information on how to set your licenses, see *<span style="color: #0000ff">[set](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35480262)</span>*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35480262)*<span style="color: #0000ff">[license](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35480262)</span>*.  
This command displays Grid-wide licenses when you specify gridwide or all arguments. Without any arguments, the static licenses for the member are displayed.
