do we also need liscense for site to site vpn...
To summarize this:
VPN on a FortiGate is free.
Both SSLVPN and IPSEC (dialup or site-to-site).
You don´t pay for the VPN part, but for webfiltering, application control, AV etc...

my license is expired so it is showing 1/10 available forticlient.. i just wanted to confirm that we don not need any license for site to site vpn on fortigate ?
no you don´t.
You can hook up FortiClient to your FortiGate and do "compliance" checks, and there you need to pay for a license if you are going above 10 clients, but it has nothing to do with the VPN part.

I just went through this with my Fortigates.
As I understand it, the initial free 10 clients are for forticlients that you manage from the fortigate. The clients register to the 'gate and you can set different options for them (AV, Web Filter, App Control), enforce compliance, etc.
If you don't plan on using the 'gate to manage the clients, you can connect as many clients as you want (up to the box's capacity, of course.)
So it's "free" for basic RA connectivity, licensed if you want the cool bells & whistles that come with the ability to manage the clients.
All,
I think I found the solution for my problem. The VPN tunnel name is limeted to 15 Characters and each remote access gets a number. Since my tunnel interface is already 13 Characters adding the sequence number _0 makes it 15. So I can't go beyond Tunnel_name_9 as the _10 makes it 16 Characters.
I think I need to recreate the tunnel with a bit shorter name.
Thanks All
