[duenlim]

Description	This article describes how is the Proxy/UTM sessions used to understand the number of sessions per seat license.
Scope	FortiProxy.
Solution	For example, run a CLI command to show the session license details. get system status Version: FortiProxy-KVM v7.4.8,build0649,250115 (GA.M) License: Active, seat 100, active seat 100, expiry date 2026-04-24  diagnose wad license detail Purchased License Seat: 100 Available License Seat: 100 Max Licensed Session: 2500 License shown on GUI dashboard:  The Max Licensed session is 2500 derived from 25 sessions x 100 License Seat. That also means that FortiProxy supports up to 2500 maximum proxy/UTM sessions. Once the maximum concurrent session has been reached, new proxy sessions are bypassed by default without UTM inspection. This is so that FortiProxy does not drop or block those sessions. show full system global | grep license set license-overlimit bypass  Note: FortiProxy in HA mode. The half of license seats in the slave unit were added to a primary unit like the example below.  License Seats Registered: FPX4HETA19-----9: 1000 FPX4HETA19-----9: 1000 New license seats adjusted: FPX4HETA19-----9: 1500 <----- Primary Unit.
