| Description | This article describes how to distinguish between Trial and Licensed FortiTokens. |
| Scope | FortiGate, FortiTokens. |
| Solution |
On the GUI when there are licensed Mobile tokens from the GUI it does not show which are licensed tokens and which are free tokens. The serial number might also have the same starting characters so it is hard to understand the difference.
To identify them open up CLI and follow the commands:
show user fortitoken
This will show a list of all the tokens on the FortiGate:
show user fortitoken jeNgvkU4mkUhjwCyUZ3cwqZy3bSzhBKOSNgq4XDTSfr8FHxJmEXEQ4Qy
From the list, look for the token that has 'FTMTRIAL' mentioned under 'set license'. This will be the one that comes free with every FortiGate. Notes
Also, it is a good practice to check the expiration and renewal of a FortiToken to avoid any type of issues related to licensing or expiration, so from the above output it is possible to check 'set activation-expire' (epoch format). It is possible to use the following free tool to check this: Epoch Converter - Unix Timestamp Converter
Regularly checking this information about the expiration of a FortiToken will ensure not lose access.
