Introduction

FortiFlex allows you to easily manage VM usage entitlements. You can use the FortiFlex portal to create VM configurations, generate licensing tokens, and monitor resource consumption in the form of points.

FortiFlex subscribers can create multiple sets of a single VM entitlement that corresponds to a licensed virtual machine. Resource consumption is based upon predefined points that are calculated on a daily basis (PST/PDT time zone).

Virtual Machines with usage entitlements require a per-VM unique token to be installed on every VM. These tokens can be injected into the VM once the configurations and vCPU quantities are defined in the FortiFlex portal, and the VMs are deployed on the customer-managed platform in supported clouds and hypervisors.
