    Hi micchon,

    I found the following:

    Unfortunately, you most likely would lose the access to the free endpoints, because they are an account entitlement tied to a FortiGate with eligible FortiCare registered in that FortiCloud account, and you activate them from that account’s FortiCloud Subscriptions page.

    See this for more info: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/7.2.0/licensing-guide/883953/free-trial-license

    Someone else can correct me if I’m wrong here.

    so if you xfer the fortigate to another forticloud account, you still need to xfer the ems cloud to same account to get it connected to FGT, So eventually with new forticloud account you will get those 3 endpoints

    Thanks, Salon
