# /sys/config/reload

The `sys/config/reload` endpoint allows reloading specific parts of Vault's configuration. Currently, it only supports reloading license information from files on disk.

| Method | Path                            |
| ------ | ------------------------------- |
| `POST` | `/sys/config/reload/:subsystem` |

#### Parameters

* `subsystem` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the subsystem for Vault to reload. This is part of the request URL.

### Reload license file

When the `:subsystem` URL parameter is specified as `license`, Vault re-reads the license file if the license was provided using the `license_path` configuration option or the `VAULT_LICENSE_PATH` environment variable. The updated license is applied to Vault, and Vault will then enable/disable licensed features if the features of the given license are different from those of the license Vault is currently using.

#### Sample request

```shell-session
$ curl \
  -X POST \
  --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    'http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/config/reload/license'
```
