# New Relic license key (`new_relic_license_key`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Ingest license key of a New Relic account, used by agents to report data. New Relic documents it as a 40-character key that ends in NRAL; the regexp expects 36 hexadecimal digits before the suffix. Older license keys of 40 hexadecimal digits look like a SHA-1 hash and are not covered.
