# Licenses for Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection

To use Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection, you must download and install a license that includes the Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection feature.

For more information about how to obtain licenses for Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection, see Knowledge Base article 12514.

CAUTION:
The license keys and license tokens allow access to confidential analysis reports. Handle the license key and license token securely.

You can enter the license key and license token in two ways:

- Globally in the properties of the Sandbox Service element

  The settings in the Sandbox Service element apply to all NGFW Engines for which Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection is enabled.

- Locally in the Engine Editor for individual NGFW Engines

  The settings for an individual NGFW Engine override the settings defined in the Sandbox Service element.

Note: If you do not enter the license key in the properties of the Sandbox Service element, you must enter the license key in the Engine Editor for each NGFW Engine for which Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection is enabled.

The license for the cloud sandbox includes two pairs of license keys and license tokens:

- A license key and license token for EU data centers
- A license key and license token for US data centers

For the cloud sandbox, the license keys and license tokens for the cloud sandbox define the home data center where the cloud sandbox analyzes and stores files. Make sure that you use the license key and license token for the region that you want to use as your home data center. If the data center that the firewall contacts is in a different region than the home data center that is specified in the license, files are forwarded to the home data center.

For the local sandbox, the license includes a license key and license token for use with your Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection appliance.
