Description

Fabric Agent with Endpoint Protection and Cloud Sandbox

Full license that offers all FortiClient features including endpoint protection and Sandbox Cloud.

Includes all features detailed for the Fabric Agent with Endpoint Protection and Sandbox Cloud licenses.

Fabric Agent with Endpoint Protection

Includes support for Telemetry and endpoint protection and management (AV, on-premise FortiSandbox, Web Filter, Application Firewall, Vulnerability Scan, Fortinet Single Sign-On (FSSO), and FortiGate registration).

Each purchased Fabric Agent license allows management of one FortiClient Windows, macOS, or Linux endpoint. You must purchase a minimum of 25 endpoint licenses, and you can have these EMS licenses for a maximum three year term. You can specify the number of endpoints and the term duration at time of purchase.

The Fabric Agent license also applies for iOS and Android endpoints.

You can also use the Fabric Agent license to license Chromebooks if no Chromebook license is present on the EMS instance.

Sandbox Cloud

Adds support for FortiSandbox Cloud for Windows and macOS endpoints.

When using both Fabric Agent and Sandbox Cloud licenses, you must purchase the same number of licenses for both license types:

  • If you already have purchased Fabric Agent licenses for 1000 endpoints, then decide to add the Sandbox Cloud licenses, you must also purchase 1000 Sandbox Cloud licenses.
  • If you have purchased Sandbox Cloud licenses for 500 endpoints, then decide to add the Fabric Agent licenses, you must also purchase 500 Fabric Agent licenses.
  • If you purchase both Fabric Agent and Sandbox Cloud licenses at the same time, you must purchase the same number of both licenses.
  • If the license amounts differ, the lowest common number of licenses is available. For example, if you purchase 500 Fabric Agent licenses and 300 Sandbox Cloud licenses, EMS only has 300 licenses available.

You must purchase a license for each registered endpoint.
