"FortiEDR Collector should only be installed on VMware Horizon or Citrix XenDesktop master images (not on clones) to ensure protection of virtual environments."
 So the number of licenses consumed at the time of installation is likely to be 1, but it seems to be displayed per virtual desktop on the EDR console screen.
Please tell me how to think about the number of licenses consumed for VMware Horizon (current name: Omnissa Horizon, I think) in EDR. 

 

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi,

Any device—whether virtual or physical—that has an installed and actively running collector will be included in the license count.

For example, if a golden image is deployed on 10 virtual devices, and the collectors on those devices are up and running, they will be counted as 10 separate licenses.
