Managed mode
Companies with large installations of FortiClient usually need a means to manage their endpoints. EMS can be used to provision and centrally manage FortiClient endpoints, and FortiGate can be used with FortiClient endpoints for network security. Each FortiClient endpoint can connect to a FortiGate or an EMS. In this mode, FortiClient licensing is applied to the FortiGate or EMS. No separate license is required on FortiClient itself.
When using the ten (10) free licenses for FortiClient in managed mode, support is provided on the Fortinet Forums. Phone support is not provided when using the free licenses. Phone support is provided for paid licenses. |
