Entitlements revert back to what's encoded in the appliance key (default is Base with concurrent count = 0 unless perpetual licenses were purchased).
If the customer is using the Base license, the following behaviors can be expected: - Limited access to the Administration UI views due to lack of permissions. See article 201800. - Only Base features will operate. A description of each license level (Base, Plus and Pro) is provided on pages 9 & 10 of the FortiNAC Data Sheet: - Behavior when concurrent count has been exceeded (also described in the Administration Guide under Licenses): - No new registrations are allowed. - Attempts at new registrations are presented with the message Exceeded concurrent connection license limit. - Rogues, at-risk, and disabled hosts continue to be placed in isolation as they normally would be. - Existing registered hosts and devices continue to have network access. - Network Access provisioning based on policy will not occur. |
