# Licenses

The License option allows to view the options that are currently available on the active Maitre'D license. Additional modules, interfaces and components can be purchased through your Maitre'D Reseller or Sales Representative. Once purchased, they can be activated here.

**Serial Number**

Each Maitre'D installation has a unique serial number. You will need to provide this number when purchasing additional Maitre'D components or when calling the Help Desk.

**Commerce Name**

This is the commerce name that was assigned when the license was originally activated. It appears in the header of guest checks and receipts, as well as on the header of reports generated from the Report Center module.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.payfacto.com/payfacto-knowledge/maitred-pos/maitred/maitred-online-help-contents-by-module/main-back-office/file/licenses.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
