| Device License | A license is bound to each device (FortiAP/FortiSwitch). |
|
Account License |
A license is bound to the FortiLAN Cloud account. |
A FortiLAN Cloud Freemium Account license allows deploying a maximum of 30 unlicensed FortiAPs and 3 FortiSwitches across networks with basic management functions. You cannot deploy any more unlicensed devices or create/modify networks, and any additional devices (deployed beyond the permissible limit) are un-deployed. Click on the 
(warning) icon to view the grace period details and the network/devices in the grace period. An additional 60 days grace period is given to any device with a valid license that is expiring. After the grace period, the system randomly retains (up to) a maximum of 30 freemium FortiAPs and 3 freemium FortiSwitches. Any other FortiAPs/FortiSwitches will not be able to connect to the service but can retain their configuration.
For advanced management, you must purchase a license for each FortiAP and FortiSwitch device, see the FortiLAN Cloud Data Sheet.
Note: FortiAP-U models require an additional license for the Universal Threat Protection feature. You are required to purchase this license in addition to the advanced management license.
