Installing authentik is exactly the same process for both Enterprise version and our free [open source](https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik) version.
> This **_Preview_** version of Enterprise authentik is available with our 2023.8.x release. Send us feedback through the Customer portal or to hello@goauthentik.io.
To get started working with Enterprise authentik, upgrade to the [2023.8.x](../releases) version or later. For installation steps, refer to our [technical documentation](../installation/index.md) for instructions to install and configure authentik.
Access your Enterprise features by first [purchasing a license](./manage-enterprise.md#buy-a-license) for the organization.
To open the Customer portal and buy a license, go to the Admin interface and in the left pane, navigate to **Enterprise -> Licenses**, and then click **Go to Customer portal**.
The license key provides direct access to the Customer portal, where you define your organization and its members, manage billing, and access our Support center.
## Visit the Support center
Enterprise authentik provides dedicated support, with a Support center where you can open a request and view the progress and communications for your current requests.
