NGFW Product Guide: "Generally, each SMC server and each Firewall, IPS, Layer 2 Firewall, and Master NGFW Engine node must be separately licensed in your SMC. Virtual NGFW Engines do not require their own licenses."
Counting rules
Licences are bound to the SMC by IP address or UIID (SMC servers), to the Management Server proof-of-license (POL) code (engines on own hardware or virtualization platforms) or to the appliance proof-of-serial (POS) code (current appliances). Licences indicate the latest version they are valid for.
Floors / minimums
One licence per SMC server and per engine node.
