Requirements

The following items are required before you can initialize your FortiClient Cloud instance:

Requirement	Description
FortiCloud account with FortiClient Cloud subscription	Create a FortiCloud account if you do not have one and register a FortiClient Cloud subscription to this account. Launching FortiClient Cloud requires a primary FortiCloud account with a FortiClient Cloud subscription. A primary FortiCloud account with a FortiClient Cloud subscription can invite other users to launch FortiClient Cloud. Each FortiCloud account that will access FortiClient Cloud must be registered with its own FortiClient Cloud subscription. See Deploying FortiClient Cloud.
Internet access	You must have Internet access to create a FortiClient Cloud instance.
Browser	Device with a browser to access FortiClient Cloud.

If you are using a new FortiCloud account:

• If the account has a FortiClient Cloud subscription and an endpoint license (ZTNA/VPN or EPP/ATP), you can launch a FortiClient Cloud instance.
• Licensing FortiClient Cloud does not require a FortiCloud Premium subscription. You can purchase a FortiCloud Premium license for a trial of FortiClient Cloud. See the FortiCloud datasheet for details.
• If the account has only a FortiClient Cloud subscription, you can launch a FortiClient Cloud instance that can manage up to three endpoints.

If you are using an existing FortiCloud account with a FortiClient Cloud instance that was launched prior to the FortiClient Cloud subscription requirement, the FortiClient Cloud instance continues to run without the FortiClient Cloud subscription.
