Cloud Management License

The Cloud Management License pane provides information about your FortiLAN Cloud Management license, including how many FortiSwitch units are currently managed, how many total FortiSwitch units can be managed, license status, license start date, license expiration date, number of subscriptions, and license type.

NOTE: As of March 29, 2020, FortiSwitch units that were previously managed for free are no longer included in the numbers displayed in the Cloud Management License pane.

Click on the information icon to view the subscription details. The following information is displayed.

  • Total number of FortiSwitch units registered in FortiCare
  • How many of your FortiSwitch units are managed by FortiLAN Cloud
  • How many FortiSwitch units can be managed by FortiLAN Cloud

Note: If the current license is expired, a grace period is provided. At the end of the grace period, the FortiSwitch unit will be disconnected from the FortiLAN Cloud. The FortiSwitch unit will continue to work with its last updated configuration, and you can manage the device by accessing the CLI or FortiSwitch GUI. However, it is recommended that the license is renewed, so the FortiSwitch unit can continue to be managed from FortiLAN Cloud.
