Licensing components and features

License files provide your system a proof of purchase. The Management Server maintains license files.

You receive most licenses as proof-of-license (POL) codes. Using your license code, you can log on to the License Center and view and manage your licenses at: https://⁠stonesoftlicenses.forcepoint.com.

Generally, each Secure SD-WAN Manager server and each Firewall, IPS, Layer 2 Firewall, and Master Engine node must be separately licensed in your Secure SD-WAN Manager. Virtual Engines do not require their own licenses.

• The Secure SD-WAN Manager components must always be licensed by importing a license file that you create at the Forcepoint website.

The use of some individual features is also limited by license.

All licenses indicate the latest version for which they are valid and are valid on all earlier software versions up to the version indicated. Licenses are by default automatically updated to the newest version possible for the component. If automatic license updates are not possible or disabled, you must generate new licenses manually before upgrading to a new major release.

License upgrades are included in maintenance contracts. If the maintenance contract of a component expires, it is not possible to upgrade the license to any newer version. Evaluation licenses are valid for 30 days.
