Question

FortiEMS how to choose between multiple licenses

Hallo,

i am using FortiEMS with 2 different Client licenses active, one for EPP and one for ZTA.

I only have 25 EPP licenses that i want to give to specific clients.

Is there a way to specifically use those licenses on those clients or will the EMS randomly assign them to the next best client?

hi,

just a wild guess but i think the client gets assigned a license based on the FortiClient installer that was used/installed, cuz you can customize/define what components/modules should the installer have when you create it in EMS

thank you, I am going to check that out.

Is there any way to check the license type in the EMS?

On the dashboard there is a "License Information" widget. You can also click on the link inside for more info.

Hi Magdanela

Another guess, I think the used license depends on which policy is assigned to a client (contains or doesn't contain an EPP features).
