Description | This article is intended to prove that a VM license can be used for VM with different specifications. |
Scope | FortiGate-VM. |
Solution |
In this scenario, there is 1 CPU-VM hardware and a 2 CPU-VM license.
To check hardware specification:
FGT # get hardware status Model name: FortiGate-VM64-KVM ASIC version: not available CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6338 CPU @ 2.00GHz Number of CPUs: 1 --> 1 CPU RAM: 2007 MB Compact Flash: 2056 MB /dev/vda Hard disk: 16384 MB /dev/vdb USB Flash: not available
FGT # get hardware cpu processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 106 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6338 CPU @ 2.00GHz stepping : 6 microcode : 0x1 cpu MHz : 1995.292 cache size : 16384 KB fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 27 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss syscall nx pdpe1gb rdtscp lm constant_tsc up ar ch_perfmon rep_good nopl xtopology pni pclmulqdq vmx ssse3 fma cx16 pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic movbe popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand hypervisor lah f_lm abm 3dnowprefetch arat xsaveopt tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid fsgsbase tsc_adjust avx2 smep bmi2 erms rdseed bogomips : 3990.58 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 57 bits virtual power management:

To check VM license specification:
FGT # diagnose debug vm-print-license SerialNumber: FGVM02TMXXXXXXX CreateDate: Sun Feb 13 18:50:34 2022 Key: yes Cert: yes Key2: yes Cert2: yes Model: 02 (7) CPU: 2 <----- Number of CPU license. MEM: 2147483647 VDOM license: permanent: 10 subscription: 0
FGVM02: '02' indicates the number of CPUs:
Conclusion: - It is possible to apply 2 CPU-VM licenses to 1 CPU-VM hardware and vice versa. If 2 CPU-VM licenses are applied to 4 CPU-VM hardware, the other 2 CPUs will not be utilized or idle.
