You must manually bind Management Server POL-bound licenses to a specific Master NGFW Engine element.
Licenses are created based on the Management Server’s proof-of-license (POL) code or based on the appliance's proof-of-serial (POS) code. POS-bound appliance licenses are automatically bound to the correct Master NGFW Engine element when the engine is fully installed. Virtual NGFW Engines do not require a separate license.

CAUTION:
When you install or refresh the policy on the engine, the license is permanently bound to that engine. Permanently bound licenses cannot be rebound to another engine without relicensing or deleting the engine element the license is bound to. Until you do that, the unbound license is shown as Retained.
