Licenses

Advanced features (such as dynamic routing protocols) require a feature license.

Each feature license is tied to the serial number of the FortiSwitch unit. Therefore, a feature license is valid on one system.

This section covers the following topics:

• Checking the license status
• Adding a license
• Removing a license

Go to System > Config > Licenses.

Using the CLI:

Removing a license
