Could we add this blurb to a file in doc/user/shared-content/ ?

Then, all we need to do in the various files is
{{< include-md file="shared-content/filename.md" >}}

QQ: How do new enterprise customers get the license key? Like once a new customer purchases an enterprise license ... what is the mechanism by which they get their key?

That is, should we blurb a generic sentence w.r.t. enterprise customers?

Kind of like "If you have purchased an Enterprise License, your license key can be obtained blah..."

i think that's still kind of up in the air - for now, i think we're just going to generate them internally and email them to users or something along those lines. i think we can update the docs later once we have a better idea of what the workflow will look like.

For enterprise license keys: we can just say "contact us to receive your enterprise license key".
