Do I need internet to install a license in my ECK environment?

there is no mentioned about this in the documentation: [Manage licenses in ECK | Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes [2.16] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-licensing.html)

@searchwithme Yes.

1. You must download the file from a computer with access per the instructions.
2. You will need to transfer it to your air-gapped env like any other file.
3. Then upload per the instructions [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-licensing.html#k8s-add-license)

Also, since you have purchased a license, you have a support ticket if you are having issues.
