# Creating NGFW Engine elements

You can either create an element or copy and edit an existing element.

Before you create an NGFW Engine element, make sure that you have a license for it. The element can be configured without a license, but you must have a license to make the NGFW Engine operational.

You can create NGFW Engine elements in the following ways:

- Single Firewall and Firewall Cluster elements one by one
- Several new Single Firewall and Firewall Cluster elements at the same time with a wizard
- IPS and Layer 2 Firewall elements one by one
