Fortigate 60F HA, tokens users activate error

I have a fortigate 60F in HA, I see the tokens, but when I want to assign them to users a message appears informing that the device is not registered, but if it is, the OS is 7.2.11 1740, The error appears when I want to send the email to the user

Is your FortiGate registered to a Fortinet account? I would also highly recommend looking at FortiAuthenticator for tokens instead of the native FortiGate offering. Also use SAML for a much better user experience.

Verify which 60F has the token license at the support/asset page. If it's on the secondary, a token activation would fail. You might need to temporarily flip over the HA.
And if that's the case, and if you want to transfer the license to the current primary, you can ask CS team by opening a ticket. 
However, the condition is you purchased the license before Aug. 4 this year. Newly purchased licenses are not transferable.

Hello, I have accessed the portal and only in that firewall I do not see the licenses section, then I execute the show user fortitoken command from the fw cli and I see the tokens,

Which FW you didn't see the license at the portal? Primary or secondary? You can see which is primary and which is secondary under System->HA in GUI, or "get sys ha status" at the bottom in CLI. Check the S/N there for primary and secondary.
The config under "config user fortitoken" are the same for both primary and secondary because it's syncing by HA sync regardless that unit has a license or not. That part wouldn't tell if the primary has the license or not.

I see this2025-08-19 10_15_03-Asset Management.png

I see general, version & update, it has cluster and entitlement, but I don't see licenses, but in the rest of the devices that I have registered, that window appears

This is not a regular 60F. I've never seen this model name "FortiGate 60F HA".
Mine shows at the asset page as just "FortiGate 60F". 
Probably nothing from what I said would apply to this model.

apparently fortinet sells a fortigate package in HA, in this case the individual products are fortigate 60F, from what I understand it is cheaper to buy it this way, instead of buying these devices separately, the issue is that when buying it this way, all activation is done with a virtual serial instead of with the "physical" serials

Toshi_Esumi

Thanks @dcortes for the info. I never knew the product is "virtual". Then the real primary device needs to have the token license. Does it?
Again, you have to get in the real device to check which is the primary.

Please check this documentation:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.0/new-features/246857/single-fortiguard-license-for...

It describes a single license for a cluster of FortiGates. Is that the case here?
