## Solution

**What is a Service Blade?**

A Service Blade is a Software Blade that requires a contract to activate a specific set of features. These blades include:

* Anti-Bot (CPSB-ABOT)
* Anti-Spam and E-mail Security (CPSB-ASPM)
* Anti-Virus (CPSB-AV)
* Application Control (CPSB-APCL)
* Data Loss Prevention (CPSB-DLP)
* IPS (CPSB-IPS)
* URL Filtering (CPSB-URLF)

When a Service Blade is purchased � la carte, that is to say a Service Blade purchased outside of a gateway bundle package or support renewal, it must be manually attached to the Security Gateway.**(Please note A la Carte blades for services are no longer available)**   

These blades are located in the User Center - "My Products" page - "Support \& Services" section.   

To attach a Software Blade:

1. Log into the User Center at https://usercenter.checkpoint.com/usercenter/index.jsp
2. Click "Assets/Info".
3. Click "Product Center" under "Accounts \& Products" option.
4. Select your account(s) from the "Selected Accounts" menu by selecting the number of product under the #of Product column. ![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/SolutionsStatics/sk80840/Accounts202512160923361.png)
