The intrusion prevention license and related information will be visible if IPS is enabled in the firewalls.

To enable the IPS feature, select System (1) -> Feature Visibility (2) and enable Intrusion Prevention (3), then Apply. As shown below, the IPS feature was disabled:

After enabling IPS it shows license information in the table.
