# DRAGEN Licensing ## Licensing Summary DRAGEN is a product which uses quota based licensing for multiple features. Each individual license contains information for the feature(s) it unlocks, a start date, an expiration date, and the quota available to the license (in units of Gigabases). If you are interested in learning more about DRAGEN Licenses, or are experiencing any Licensing related issues - please [contact us](https://www.illumina.com/company/contact-us.html). ## License Quota Consumption Most DRAGEN runs consume quota, of which typically is the # of bases found in the input BAM/FASTQ. Note, this is calculated per run - so running multiple pipelines in the same run consumes less quota compared to running them individually. Pipelines which don't consume quota; * Germline / Somatic - CNV Only or SV Only * Germline - Joint Genotyping * BCL Convert ## Install and View Licenses The DRAGEN Licensing experience varies depending on the platform used to run DRAGEN, please review the section relevant to you for specific licensing details. * For more information on DRAGEN Server (On-Premises) Licensing, refer to the [DRAGEN Server License Reference Section](/dragen/dragen-v4.3/reference/licensing/onprem_licensing.md). * For more information on DRAGEN Cloud Licensing, refer to the [DRAGEN Cloud License Reference Section](/dragen/dragen-v4.3/reference/licensing/cloud_licensing.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
