# Licensed feature availability
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
As of GitLab 9.4, we've been supporting a simplified version of licensed
feature availability checks via `ee/app/models/license.rb`, both for
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
on-premise or GitLab.com plans and features.
## Restricting features scoped by namespaces or projects
GitLab.com plans are persisted on user groups and namespaces, therefore, if you're adding a
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
feature such as [Related issues](../user/project/issues/related_issues.md) or
2020-10-24 23:57:45 +05:30
[Service Desk](../user/project/service_desk.md),
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
it should be restricted on namespace scope.
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
1. Add the feature symbol on `EES_FEATURES`, `EEP_FEATURES`, or `EEU_FEATURES` constants in
`ee/app/models/license.rb`. Note that the prefix `EES` signifies Starter, `EEP` signifies
Premium, and `EEU` signifies Ultimate.
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
1. Check using:
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
```ruby
project.feature_available?(:feature_symbol)
```
## Restricting global features (instance)
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
However, for features such as [Geo](../administration/geo/index.md) and
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
[Load balancing](../administration/database_load_balancing.md), which cannot be restricted
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
to only a subset of projects or namespaces, the check is made directly in
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
the instance license.
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
1. Add the feature symbol on `EES_FEATURES`, `EEP_FEATURES` or `EEU_FEATURES` constants in
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
`ee/app/models/license.rb`.
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
1. Add the same feature symbol to `GLOBAL_FEATURES`.
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
1. Check using:
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
```ruby
License.feature_available?(:feature_symbol)
```
