The App-ID Cloud Engine (ACE) is disabled by default on Panorama and enabled by default on firewalls when the SaaS Security Inline license is installed. You must enable ACE on Panorama appliances that manage ACE-enabled firewalls.
To enable or disable ACE:
  1. Navigate to DeviceSetupACESettings on the firewall or PanoramaSetupACESettings on Panorama.
  2. Click edit (
    ) and then either de-select Disable App-ID Cloud Engine to enable ACE or select Disable App-ID Cloud Engine to disable ACE.
    ACE is disabled by default.
  3. Click OK.
  4. (Only if enabling ACE) If you are enabling ACE, the Enable App-ID Cloud Engine dialog appears.
    If the firewall or Panorama-managed firewalls have the SaaS Security Inline license installed, click Yes to enable ACE.
  5. Commit the change.
