App Control Licensing and Modes

Carbon Black App Control Server can be licensed at two feature levels that parallel the available Modes described in the previous section:

• Visibility – This provides all of Carbon Black App Control’s file and event tracking and reporting capabilities, but not control features such as file and device blocking.
• Suite – This provides the Visibility and Control features of Carbon Black App Control.

License keys determine the number of agents allowed to run in each mode. You can mix licenses on the same server, having, for example, 20 Visibility licenses and 20 Suite licenses. In addition, you can purchase the upgrade at any time to bring Visibility licenses up to Suite level. Keep in mind that if you have no Suite licenses, Control features are not available and certain elements of the console documented in this manual will not appear.

See Managing App Control Licenses for information for more information on how licenses work in Carbon Black App Control.
