Creating entitlements
Create a VM entitlement to be used with various VM products, including a FortiGate-VM or FortiWeb-VM. The program requires a positive point balance to create entitlements.
|
When you create a VM on FortiFlex the consumption for the VM starts when the entitlement is activated for the first time. All newly created entitlements will be set to PENDING and will be changed to ACTIVE when the entitlement is activated by the VM instance, which triggers the start of charges. |
To create a VM entitlement:
- Go to VM Entitlements, and click New VM Entitlement. The Add VM Entitlement(s) page opens.
- Configure the VM Entitlement.
