 - **JWT Authorization with service intentions:** Consul can now authorize connections based on claims present in JSON Web Token (JWT). Consul can be configured to use one or more JWT providers to control access to services and specific HTTP paths based on the validity of JWT claims embedded in the service traffic. This ensures a uniform and low latency mechanism to validate and authorize communication based on JWT claims across all services in a diverse service-oriented architecture. Refer to the [Use JWT authorization with service intentions](/consul/docs/connect/intentions/jwt-authorization) for more information.
 
+- **Automated license utilization reporting:** Consul Enteprise now provides automated license utilization reporting, which sends minimal product-license metering data to HashiCorp. You can use these reports to understand how much more you can deploy under your current contract, which can help you protect against overutilization and budget for predicted consumption. Refer to the [Automated license utilization reporting documentation](/consul/docs/enterprise/license/utilization-reporting) for more information.
