+
+## Introduction
+
+Siemens Advanced License Technology (SALT) is a Siemens service used to validate software licenses. This guide outlines the steps to deploy a Mendix application using a SALT-based license.
+
+## Obtaining the SALT-based License
+
+Upon purchase, your SALT-based license file is sent to you by email. Keep in mind the following limitations when using a SALT-based license:
+
+* Version compatibility - SALT licenses are supported only for Mendix version 10.24 and newer.
+* Version binding - Each SALT license is bound to a specific major version of Mendix and cannot be used in newer major versions.
+* Cloud restrictions - SALT licenses are not supported for Mendix Cloud environments.
+
+## Installing the Siemens License Server
+
+The Siemens License Server (SLS) is required to validate SALT-based licenses. This server must be installed within the same environment where your Mendix applications are deployed. All Mendix applications which use a SALT license must be able to access the license server. The license server must also have access to your SALT license file, which is used to validate the Mendix application licenses at runtime.
+
+To install the Siemens License Server, perform the following steps:
+
+1. Download the Siemens License Server from the [Siemens Support Portal](https://support.sw.siemens.com/en-US/product/1586485382).
+2. To install the Siemens License Server, follow the process outlined in [this video](https://support.sw.siemens.com/en-US/knowledge-base/MG616411).
+3. When prompted, provide your license file. To download the license file, follow this [guide from Siemens](https://support.sw.siemens.com/en-US/product/1586485382/knowledge-base/MG612613).
+
+## Configuring your Mendix Application
+
+Each Mendix application that uses a SALT license must be configured with the following [runtime setting](/refguide/custom-settings/):
+
+```
+License.SaltLicenseLocation = port@host
+```
+
+* `port`: The port number specified during the license server installation.
+* `host`: The hostname or IP address of the machine running the license server.
+
+After you configure the runtime setting and starting the Mendix application, the application connects to the Siemens License Server to validate the SALT license.
