    ```
 3. Activate your license following Gurobi's instructions
 
+### FICO Xpress (Optional)
+
+Xpress ships with a free Community license for small models (up to 5000 rows and columns combined). Academic and commercial licenses are available from [FICO](https://www.fico.com/en/fico-xpress-community-license):
+
+1. Install Xpress:
+   ```bash
+   pip install xpress
+   ```
+2. For larger models, point Xpress to your license file (e.g. via the `XPAUTH_PATH` environment variable)
+3. Use it via `fx.solvers.XpressSolver()`
+
+!!! note "Version requirements"
+    `XpressSolver` needs Xpress 9.0 or newer (for the `TIMELIMIT` control). Use linopy 0.5.8 or newer: older versions cannot return a solution when Xpress stops at the time limit.
+
 ## Verification
 
 Verify your installation by running:
