FortiCloud Premium license

The FortiManager Cloud portal checks for a FortiCloud Premium license. If the FortiManager Cloud Cloud license is valid, but the FortiCloud Premium license is expired, a warning is displayed. To access the portal, renew the FortiCloud Premium license.

In the following example, the FortiManager Cloud instance exists, but the license has expired.
