Using Alerts with Splunk Enterprise Per Sourcetype License

Hi,

When creating alerts and choosing action as logevent, by default it chooses sourcetype as generic_single_line
But I also get License warning in my license master.
I have Splunk enterprise per sourcetype license. Why can't I use the in-built alerts feature ?
