Explanation
The Splunk Universal Forwarder is the only Splunk Enterprise offering that has its own license. The Splunk Universal Forwarder license allows the forwarder to send data to any Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud instance without consuming any license quota. The Splunk Heavy Forwarder does not have its own license, but rather consumes the license quota of the Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud instance that it sends data to. The Splunk Cloud Forwarder and the Splunk Forwarder Management are not separate Splunk Enterprise offerings, but rather features of the Splunk Cloud service. For more information, see [About forwarder licensing] in the Splunk documentation.
