Creating a license pool group

Creating a license pool group

A licence pool group allows you to request the next availble serial number in the pool. When a VM is decomissioned, the license is returned to the pool.

Requirements:
  • Access to Asset Management
  • Fortinet Developer Network membership
To create a license pool group:
  1. In Asset Management, create an Asset Folder for the asset pool group. See, Creating custom views.
  2. Create a VM Entitlement and select a folder for the group. See, Creating entitlements.
  3. Use the Virtual Machines API to create and add a folderpath to the asset folder in My Assets.
  4. Create a new endpoint to return the group information.
  5. Create a new endpoint to return the next available token.
