Upload a license

You only need a single license file for FortiPortal. After you upload the FortiPortal license, the license details are shown in the Dashboard, including the number of devices allowed, the number of devices used, the number of Fortinet Access Points (FAPs) allowed, the number of FAPs used, and the FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer status.

The number of devices used is the number of devices (VDOMs) that a site administrator assigns to a site. Other devices that FortiPortal has access to from FortiManager do not count towards this number until they are assigned to a site.

If the administrative user creates a site, assigns a device to it, and the administrative user has selected the Sandbox checkbox so that FortiPortal will process logs from the customerʼs FortiSandbox devices, those devices are counted as part of the number of devices used. Refer to the Dashboard.

When the administrative user removes a device from the site, the number of devices used decreases by one, and the number of devices allowed increases by one. Refer to the Dashboard.

The Expiry Date in the Dashboard shows when the FortiPortal license expires.

FortiPortal periodically checks for license status update with FortiGuard. When the license is renewed, the interface is available again.
