Licensing options
FTC offers five (5) time-based annual licensing options (i.e., SKUs), with different user quotas. One user quota equals to one FTC end-user per year. The licenses are stackable and co-termed, meaning that you can start with a SKU that best fits your current needs, and scale up by purchasing additional licenses as your businesses grow. Co-termed licensing occur when you add a new license after your original license has been already in use. In this case, Fortinet will apply a prorated price to your new license for the remainder of the year so that the new license will expire on the same date as the old one.
Upon purchasing your license, you'll receive a License Certificate in .pdf format with a registration code in it. Be sure to register your license under the same FortiCloud (FC) account where your FortiGate or FortiAuthenticator has been registered.
User quotas in your license are consumed based on the number of FTC end-users on your account for the year. The FTC portal keeps track of your daily, monthly, and current quote usage and reports your usage data to FC.
