Previously, the dashboard widget wizard greyed out visualization types that do not fit the configured data selection, but the tooltip always claimed "Available in Checkmk Pro or higher." On a Pro, Ultimate or Cloud site that reason was plainly wrong, and it looked like a licensing problem.
The tooltip now names the actual restriction. For example, "Service state" is only offered for a single host and a single service, so with "Multiple hosts" selected the tile explains "Only available for a single host and a single service." The same applies to "Host state" in the hosts/site wizard, to the metric visualizations, and to the alert and notification widgets restricted by log filters. Where an edition really is the limiting factor, the tooltip still says so.
Which visualization types you can choose has not changed.
