Getting Data In

Can't receive logs from AD W2019

Am

Hi,

We have installed and configured Splunk in a Linux machine with the objective of receiving data from an AD in a Windows Server 2019. After installing the "Splunk Universal Forwarder" and following the steps in the documentation we see the following output with the netstat command: "splunk:8089 SYN_SENT".
The Splunk installed in the Linux machine has the "Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Windows" and both services (the UF in the Windows machine too) were restarted after adding it.
Then, when the "Data Inputs - Windows Event Logs" option is selected we can see the following error: "Select Forwarders This feature is not available with your installed set of licenses"
Therefore, we can't receive any logs.

Are we missing something here?
