# Check that all components are licensed

Each SMC Server, NGFW Engine, and Master NGFW Engine must have its own license. There is no difference between licenses for nodes in a cluster and licenses for single NGFW Engines.

## Steps

1. Select Configuration, then browse to Administration.
2. Select Licenses > Unlicensed Components > All.
   This view displays all elements that require a license, but do not currently have a valid license.
3. If any components are shown as unlicensed, check the following:
   - Engine licenses generated based on a Forcepoint NGFW appliance POS code are bound when the NGFW Engine makes initial contact with the Management Server. It is normal to see the corresponding elements as unlicensed until initial contact is made.
   - If you have already generated and installed licenses, check that the binding details are correct (POS code, POL code, or IP address).
4. If needed, generate and install new licenses for the components listed.
