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 Admin > System Info window, 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 number of FortiSandbox (FSA) devices used.
The number of devices used is the number of devices (VDOMs) that a site administrator assigns to a customer site. Other devices that FortiPortal has access to from FortiManager do not count as “used” until they are assigned to a customer site.
If the administrative user creates a customer site, assigns a device to it, and the administrative user has selected the FortiSandbox 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 Admin > System Info window.
When the administrative user removes a device from the customer site, the number of devices used decreases by one, and the number of devices allowed increases by one. Refer to the Admin > System Info window.
The Expiry Date on the Admin > System Info page shows when the FortiPortal license expires.
Use the following steps to upload the FortiPortal license:
- Go to Admin > System Info and locate the License Information panel.
- Under the Upload License label, select Browse.
The system opens a file chooser window.
- Select a license file and select Open.
- The system automatically restarts the FortiPortal VM to apply the license.
In case you have no license, three free devices are allowed. Once the grace period expires, the service provider and the end-customer interfaces are not accessible anymore.

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