# Certification: Licensing

In order to use this feature, be sure to enable [licensing](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/account-settings#enable-licensing) for your account.

SmarterU's [licensing feature](/v1/docs/licensing) enables you to track and map licenses issued by other entities, such as a government agency, with learning plan [certifications](/v1/docs/certifications) in your account.

A certification's licensing settings are located in the Licensing accordion of the Add/Edit Certification workscreen.

Each certification can be linked to a specific [area](/v1/docs/licensing-areas-and-regions), [agency](/v1/docs/licensing-agencies), [license type](/v1/docs/license-types) combination. For example, if you are trying to track five different combinations of areas, agencies, and license types, you will need to have five different certifications.

## Settings
