You can configure a Flex-VM connector to allow FortiManager to assign licenses to managed FortiGate devices through the device manager. See Installing VM licenses.

To create a Flex-VM connector:

1. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations > External Connectors > Endpoint/Identity.
2. Click Create New, and select Flex-VM Connector.
   The Create New Flex-VM Connector wizard opens.
3. Enter the following information:

   Name	Enter a name for the Flex-VM connector.
   Status	Toggle the slider on or off to enable or disable the connector.
   API User	Enter the username for your Flex-VM API user.
   API Password	Enter the password for your Flex-VM API user.
   Program SN	Enter your Flex-VM program SN.

4. Click OK to save the connector.
   Once the connector has been created, it can be used to install VM licenses to managed FortiGate devices in the Device Manager.
