For managing Kpow and Flex licenses effectively, it's strongly recommended to store the license files **externally** from your main configuration or version control system (like Git). This approach prevents accidental exposure of sensitive license details and makes updating or swapping licenses much simpler.

The Docker Compose files facilitates this by allowing you to specify the path to your license file using **environment variables** on your host machine _before_ launching the services. Specifically, they are configured to look for these variables and use their values to locate the appropriate license file via the `env_file` directive. If an environment variable is not set, a default path (usually within the `resources` directory) is used as a fallback.

- **`KPOW_LICENSE`**: Specifies the path to the Kpow license file.

- **`FLEX_LICENSE`**: Specifies the path to the Flex license file.
