Definition
FortiClient EMS Administration Guide: "FortiClient EMS supports per-endpoint licensing." "Each purchased ZTNA license allows management of one FortiClient Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, or Chromebook endpoint." The FortiClient Ordering Guide: "On-premise FortiClient EMS and FortiClient Cloud re licensed per-device/endpoint."
Counting rules
EMS consumes one licence for each registered (managed) endpoint and applies EPP or ZTNA licences according to the features enabled in the endpoint profile, so an estate can hold different quantities of each tier. After expiry and a ten-day grace period, EMS becomes read-only and no new endpoints can register. Cloud (EMS05) and on-premises (EMS04) SKUs are not interchangeable.
Floors / minimums
Minimum 25 endpoint licences; packs of 25, 500, 2,000 and 10,000 devices; maximum term five years. FortiFlex EMS entitlements: 25 to 85,000 endpoints.
