Authorizing a FortiExtender
|
If FortiSASE does not find a FortiSASE ThinEdge License, it disables the Authorization > Authorize button and hovering over the Authorize button displays the No authorization entitlements for FortiExtenders tooltip. Therefore, only licensed FortiExtenders can be authorized. Please ensure you apply a FortiSASE ThinEdge License to each FortiExtender to be managed by FortiSASE. |

|
If the number of FortiExtender devices to be authorized exceeds the number of FortiSASE ThinEdge Licenses available, then the Authorization > Authorize button will be disabled and hovering over the Authorize button will display the tooltip “All X licensed FortiExtenders have been authorized. Deauthorize a device or purchase additional entitlements to authorize additional FortiExtenders” where X is the total number of registered entitlements for thin-edge management. Proceed as advised by the tooltip to ensure your FortiExtenders can be managed by FortiSASE. |
