Points
Points can be purchased in packages of 1000 or 10000 from the FortiMeter product information page on FortiCare using the Add Licenses button.
Points are used based on the type of service and the volume of traffic sent to FortiGuard.

For prepaid FortiOS VMs, after the point balance has become negative, VMs can continue to be used for up to 15 days before the account is frozen or more points are purchased to restore a positive point balance.
With a negative point balance, the FortiMeter status will show the number of days until it is frozen, or FREZ when it is already frozen. FortiMeter will be unfrozen when a positive point balance is restored.
For FortiOS VM HA clusters, only the primary unit sends traffic to FortiMeter.
