Hi,

 

i have a fully licensed vm01 (not eval). Now i am trying to work out whether Vmware fault-tolerance or a passive Fortigate VM is the way.

 

if i run 2 vms (1 active, 1 passive), do i need an additional license for the passive vm since it is not in use?

 

thanks

    Yep, you'll need two licenses because both devices needs to be fully operational.
