==== Change to synthetic `_source` licensing

Starting with this release, the <<synthetic-source,synthetic `_source`>> feature is available exclusively with the Enterprise subscription. Synthetic `_source` is used in logs data streams (`logsdb` index mode), time series data streams (TSDS, using `time_series` index mode), application performance monitoring (APM), and Universal Profiling.

If you are using these capabilities and do not have an Enterprise license, the change will result in increased storage requirements for new data, as the synthetic `_source` setting will be ignored. Existing indices that used synthetic `_source` will remain seamlessly accessible.

Refer to the subscription page for https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions/cloud[Elastic Cloud] and https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[Elastic Stack/self-managed] for the breakdown of available features and their associated subscription tiers. For further details and subscription options, contact your Elastic sales representative or https://www.elastic.co/contact[contact us].
