| Solution | When a FortiGate cluster is deployed in an HA configuration by following the Single FortiGuard license for FortiGate A-P HA cluster, the device may still fail to register, and the logs may display the following errors: FGT1 # diagnose sys ha dump-by debug-zone HA information. is_manage_primary=1,manage_vd=root,ip=169.254.0.2,num=2,nvcluster=1,jiffies=456481. No logical serial number,retry times=10 FG101FTK24005632, 1,0,00,10,0,7.4.2795,0,0,0,0. FG101FTK24005677, 0,29,00,10,0,7.4.2795,1,1,-1,0. vcluster_id=1. FG101FTK24005632, 0,0. FG101FTK24005677, 1,1. - Check the FortiGate device's system configuration and ensure that the logical serial number (LSN) is enabled. The LSN is required for registration.
- Verify that the FortiGate devices are running the correct firmware version. Ensure that the firmware version is compatible with the registration process (FortiOS 7.2.9, 7.4.6 and 7.6.1 and above)
- Check the FortiCloud portal and ensure that the devices are properly registered and that the registration status is up-to-date.
-
If the issue persists and the 'No valid cluster key' error appears in the diagnose debug update-1 output, try disabling and re-enabling the Logical Serial Number (LSN) in the HA configuration. For more details, refer to the following article: Technical Tip: Logical SN or vSN does not appear on the HA status. - If the device is still not registering, try de-registering it from the FortiCloud portal and then registering it again. If needed, contact the CS team for assistance.
- If these logs continue to appear, verify that the FortiGate device can establish connectivity to the domain globalregistration.fortinet.net. This domain is critical for proper operation, and access may be restricted by an intermediate device or security policy. Ensure that no network or firewall rules are blocking communication with globalregistration.fortinet.net

Valid logic-sn can't be obtained from Fortinet online server and cluster will not work properly until the key is loaded! Related document: Single FortiGuard license for FortiGate A-P HA cluster - FortiGate 7.4.0 new features |
