License management

Manage license keys on the servers through this view. You can view and modify both the FortiNAC Control Server and FortiNAC Application Server licenses through this view. Servers that are part of a high availability configuration appear in the drop-down list.

License information is displayed on the dashboard. See Dashboard for additional information.

The events related to license use help maintain proper appliance use per environment. Warning and critical events and alarms are generated based on a set of user defined thresholds. See Event thresholds to set thresholds. See Map events to alarms to set alarms based on threshold events.

View/modify license information

The license options will vary depending on whether pre-2016 (Secure Enterprise Standard, Secure Enterprise Advanced, or Secure Enterprise Mobility) or post-2016 (Secure Enterprise Advanced or Secure Enterprise Premier) license packages are installed on the server.
