7.14 - when I go to a case, with an alert on it , and click to get the fly out, I'm not seeing an option to "Take Action" and isolate a host. Do you only see the "Take Action" button if there is a certain alert in the case (e.g. a Malware alert - I currently have a "malware prevention alert". I also cant see "Take Action" when I go to Endpoints, but I think that might only be there in 7.15. Basically I'm wanting to test isolation. How can I do that? Thanks community Billy ---

Hi @wmacleodstrath - thanks for using Elastic Security! A couple initial questions for you - - what is the OS of the host you are looking to perform this action on? for 7.14, [Host Isolation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/7.14/host-isolation-ov.html) will be available for Windows/MacOS hosts. - what is your license level? Host Isolation will be available for Platinum / Enterprise licenses ---

Windows server 2016 No license - I'm on the free on prem stuff. This article says it's free, open and limitless [Elastic Security 7.14: Limitless XDR protection | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/whats-new-elastic-security-7-14-0) so I wouldn't expect i would need to purchase a license for it. thanks ---

and if I go via Endpoint - I do see the "Take Action" button but my only choices are: view host details view agent policy view agent details reassign agent policy ---

and if I look at the policy status I see "Successfully read host isolation configuration (disabled)" ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/a/eab2959de4ef78a028d08c1d4baf8973311949df.png) ---

Thanks to @ [BenB196](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/BenB196) for pointing out (on another thread) that it does indeed look like a chargeable feature on this page [Subscriptions | Elastic Stack Products & Support | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) despite many other pages referring to it as "free and open Limitless XDR" ---
