Understanding the Product Licensing Widget
License: 
Any
The Product Licensing widget shows the device and feature licenses currently installed on the Defense 
Center. It also indicates the number of items (such as hosts or users) licensed and the number of 
remaining licensed items allowed. It does not appear by default on any of the predefined dashboards.
The top section of the widget displays all device and feature licenses installed on the Defense Center, 
including temporary licenses, while the Expiring Licenses section displays only temporary and expired 
licenses. For example, if you have two feature licenses for FireSIGHT Hosts, one of which is a 
permanent license and allows 750 hosts, and another that is temporary and allows an additional 750 
hosts, the top section of the widget displays a FireSIGHT Hosts feature license with 1500 licensed hosts, 
while the Expiring Licenses section displays a FireSIGHT Hosts feature license with 750 hosts.
The bars in the widget background show the percentage of each type of license that is being used; you 
should read the bars from right to left. Expired licenses are marked with a strikethrough. 
You can configure the widget to display either the features that are currently licensed, or all the features 
that you can license, by modifying the widget preferences. The preferences also control how often the 
widget updates. For more information, see 
You can click any of the license types to go to the License page of the local configuration and add or 
delete feature licenses. For more information, see 
Understanding the Product Updates Widget
License: 
Any
The Product Updates widget provides you with a summary of the software (FireSIGHT System software 
and rule updates) currently installed on the appliance as well as information on available updates that 
you have downloaded, but not yet installed, for that software. This widget appears by default on the 
Status tabs of the Detailed Dashboard and the Summary Dashboard.
Note that the widget displays 
Unknown
 as the latest version of the software unless you have configured a 
scheduled task to download, push, or install software updates; the widget uses scheduled tasks to 
determine the latest version. For more information, see 
The widget also provides you with links to pages where you can update the software; the Defense Center 
version of the widget provides you with similar links so you can update the software on your managed 
devices.
