Have you already got a WLS license? If so, after downloading it you just place it in a default directory and it should be picked up. For example, in your home directory for others, see: [Where do I place the Gurobi license file (gurobi.lic)? – Gurobi Help Center](https://support.gurobi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013417211-Where-do-I-place-the-Gurobi-license-file-gurobi-lic)

If I use Web License Service (WLS) license of Gurobi, could I follow the [Default installation](https://github.com/jump-dev/Gurobi.jl?tab=readme-ov-file#default-installation):

Or can I only follow [Manual installation](https://github.com/jump-dev/Gurobi.jl?tab=readme-ov-file#manual-installation):

You can follow the default installation. You can skip the `grbgetkey` steps in the first section. You have to download your WLS license from [https://license.gurobi.com/](https://license.gurobi.com/) (if you already have one) and place it in your home directory.

I’ll update the README with WLS instructions.
