Also  , i find in document :

License Requirements for Firepower Management Center

Firepower Management Center allows you to assign licenses to managed devices and manage licenses for the system.

A single Firepower Management Center can manage both devices that require Classic licenses and devices that require Smart Licenses.

Hardware FMC

A hardware Firepower Management Center does not require purchase of additional licenses or service subscriptions in order to manage devices.

Virtual FMC

Firepower Management Center Virtual has additional licensing requirements. See Firepower Management Center Virtual Licenses.

• Firepower Management Center Virtual Licenses

so  according picture , FMC 4600 is FMC hard or virtual !!! 

because we are installed FMC directly without VM 

thanks

@Dhikra Marghli FMC 4600 is a physical appliance, so you can ignore anything specific to the virtual FMC.

From your screenshot you need to register your FMC in your Smart Account, as per the link provided. If you have any Threat, Malware or URL filtering licenses this can then be applied to the relevant FTDs.
