So, I'm in the process of spinning up my Shinny new FortiAuth VMs and would like to put them in an HA/LB-Cluster.. Documentation - CHECK
Documentation on Licensing Sync between HA/LB: Vague at best and doesn't really exist or provide details.
However, I am hesitant to apply my FAC licenses to any of my VMs due to my lack of understanding how Licensing works in a HA/LB configuration..
Do I or should I load all my FAC licenses on one box, then hope they sync between the two? Do I need to split my FAC licenses between them? What if one of the boxes fails and the LB/Slave takes over as primary? Will it inherit the licenses from the LB/Master? Will the FortiMobile Token licenses sync between the Two?
Any guidance on this matter is much appreciated!
BTWS: FAC-OS-4.1.2
Thank you in advance!

I just started setting up my FAC VMs and my SE told me this:
[ul]And if you are doing HA across data centers (via L3) you have to go active-active in order to have the tokens apply across both systems.
Thank's Ego for the reply. So, I did purchase double the quantity (that's so dumb BTW!!!) and put them on both and put the mobile token on the "PRIMARY" and both FAC's are in sync. The HA/L3 is Master/Slave A/A btw. Agian, thanks for you help.
