Hello,

I would recommend to contact local Fortinet sales representative regarding license information.

This document is a good starting point to see which UTM and other features require which license.

To explicitly comment on the services you mentioned:
VPN (IPsec, SSL-) has no licensing requirements attached to it in FortiOS, these are built-in features that will work for as long as the unit is functional. Note that some SSL-VPN features are restricted to the EMS-managed FortiClients, but this is a matter of FortiClient/EMS licensing, not FortiOS directly.

SD-WAN itself does not require any license, but it is worth mentioning that updates to Application Control and ISDB databases requires at least the baseline FortiCare contract. As a consequence, if you are actively using these databases in your SD-WAN rules to steer traffic, then one could argue that SD-WAN can have an indirect dependency on this license.

 Managing traffic using IP address like a normal switch/router and basic IP to IP allow/deny not requires any license.

Only features that requires constant update like Antivirus, application control, antispam, Web filter, etc requires a license.
