Creating entitlements
Create a VM entitlement to be used with a FortiGate-VM or FortiWeb-VM. The program requires a positive point balance to create entitlements.
|
When you create a VM on Flex-VM, you are creating the Per-VM entitlement that is to be injected to every VM node. The consumption for the VM starts the day it is created. It is recommended that you define a VM entitlement when you create the physical VM entity on your platform so that the creation of the entitlement and the VM instance occur at the same time or on the same day (PST/PDT time zone). |
To create a VM entitlement:
- Go to VM Entitlements, and click New VM Entitlement. The Add VM Entitlement(s) page opens.
- Configure the VM Entitlement.
