While trying to configure SPA, the following error might occur:

The SASE will have the SPA license while purchasing, which may lead to confusion.

 

This is because the SPA requires subscription per FortiGate device, which means the FortiGate device in question and FortiSASE must both be under the same FortiCloud account.

 

Make sure the HUB device has a SPA license.

 

It is necessary to register FortiGate devices to the same FortiCloud account used to log into FortiSASE before using these devices as SPA hubs with FortiSASE.

 

To activate the SPA feature on FortiSASE, it is necessary to purchase and apply a FortiSASE Service Connection subscription to each FortiGate device registered.
