| Description | This article describes an issue where licenses do not show valid dates in HA (in either an active-active or active-passive setup). |
| Scope | Any supported version of FortiGate in HA. |
| Solution |
Consider the following example where the two FortiGate devices below are operating in HA mode with licenses:
The above device is the primary unit and the web filtering license will expire on 2024/01/17. However, on the secondary device, the license expires on 2025/01/17. This is the default behavior. The device with the earliest expiry date will be visible on both devices.
To fix the issue, break up the HA setup into a standalone FortiGate setup. Each device will then have exact expiry dates. Otherwise, to have a valid license in the HA cluster, make sure both devices have the same license entitlement. |
