feature dependent

Individual devices must have equivalent licenses before they can be stacked or clustered. After you stack 
devices, you can change the licenses for the entire stack. However, you cannot change the enabled 
licenses on a device cluster.

You can stack 3D8140, 3D8200 family, 3D8300 family, and 3D9900 devices of the same model that meet 
the requirements described in 

. You can cluster two devices of the 

same Series 3 model that meet the requirements described in 

Protection

Series 2

With the exception of the DC500, Series 2 and Series 3 Defense Center licensing is identical. Because 
the DC500 does not support URL filtering or network-based malware detection, it cannot take advantage 
of URL Filtering or Malware licenses.

Series 2 devices automatically have the capabilities, except for Security Intelligence, enabled by a 
Protection license. You cannot disable the Protection license on Series 2 devices, and you cannot enable 
other licenses.

can monitor with the Defense Center and its managed devices, as well as how many users you can use 
to perform user control. FireSIGHT host and user license limits are model specific, as listed in the
