# SPDX license list import Rake task
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Ultimate
**Offering:** Self-managed
GitLab provides a Rake task for uploading a fresh copy of the [SPDX license list](https://spdx.org/licenses/)
to a GitLab instance. This list is needed for matching the names of [License approval policies](../user/compliance/license_approval_policies.md).
To import a fresh copy of the PDX license list, run:
```shell
# omnibus-gitlab
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:spdx:import
# source installations
bundle exec rake gitlab:spdx:import RAILS_ENV=production
```
To perform this task in the [offline environment](../user/application_security/offline_deployments/index.md#defining-offline-environments),
an outbound connection to [`licenses.json`](https://spdx.org/licenses/licenses.json) should be
allowed.
