EMS license timeout: From the EMS console, navigate to: 'System Settings -> EMS Settings -> Endpoint Settings -> EMS license timeout'. Set the EMS license timeout to determine how long the EMS waits before timing out an unused license. Stale Verified User Cleanup Timeout / Deauthorized User Inactivity Timeout: From the EMS console, navigate to: 'System Settings -> EMS Settings -> Endpoint Settings -> Stale Verified User Cleanup Timeout / Deauthorized User Inactivity Timeout' Configure these settings to manage how long a user remains in the system without activity before being automatically cleaned up or de-authorized. Revoking a License by de-registering clients: To revoke a license from a specific client, de-register the client from the EMS: Navigate to: 'EMS Console -> Endpoints -> Action -> Deregister'. Select the client to de-register. This action will revoke the license from the client. Adjust these configurations and use these processes to effectively manage the licenses within an FortiClient EMS environment.
