3. Re-download the latest entitlement file every time and re-upload it if there is a new registered device under the same Account ID or a different Account ID to reflect the new device contract information.
4. It is possible to upload the entitlement file from different Account IDs and the contract information will be merged and consolidated as one.
5. For each time the entitlement file is re-uploaded, it is possible to run the CLI command diagnose fmupdate fds-dump subs in the FortiManager to verify the content of the contract information. |
