Technical Tip: 'Access denied: Insufficient license points' error while deploying new FortiExtender on Cloud

This error appears because as of March 29, 2020, the FortiExtender Cloud free tier licenses are no longer offered.

This service allowed to register and manage 3 FortiExtenders, free of charge, in FortiExtender Cloud.

The units that have been managed for free previously will continue to work with their last uploaded configurations.

To add more units, purchase a license for each new device through authorized Fortinet resellers and distributors.

For licensing information, contact the primary Fortinet service provider.
