Validating device ownership
FIC is able to handle device ownership transfer without human intervention, automatically cleaning up user data on the transferred device from the source account.
Below are the use cases that show how FIC handles change of device ownership:
-
If you move a device (e.g., FortiGate) license and the FIC license to a new account, your FIC service will continue after the transfer.
-
If you move the FIC license to a new account but leave the device in the old account with no other FIC license, there will be no FIC service for the device.
-
If you move the device license to a new account where there is another (new) FIC license and leave the old FIC license in the old account, usage from that device now will count against the new FIC license (not the old one).
-
If you move the FIC license to a new account but leave the device in the old account, and then add a new FIC license to the old account, usage from that device will count against the new license (not the old one).
To validate the ownership of a device:
- Click Applications > FortiProducts > Ownership.
- Under Devices, Identify the device.
- Click the tool icon, and select Validate.
- Click Yes.
