## How to get a MaxMind License Key

> > > > > It may take up to 15 minutes before a newly created MaxMind license key is recognized. If you get an error with your new key just wait a few minutes then try again.

1. Signup for the **free** license key [here](https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup).
2. Generate a license key [here](https://www.maxmind.com/en/accounts/current/license-key) (When asked - Will this key be used for geoipupdate? Choose: no)
3. Navigate to `Sentinel -> Settings -> Geolocation Settings` and enter the license key under MaxMind license key. (It might take 15 minutes before MaxMind will recognise a newly created key)
