- Statement
- Set the Number of Licensed vCPUs: with Software NGFW credits the customer may license fewer vCPUs than the compute instance provides (VM-Series plugin 2.1.4 or later, set-cores bootstrap or CLI command, reboot required), so a larger instance does not consume more credits than necessary.
- Applies when
- VM-Series runs on a cloud instance or VM with more vCPUs than need to be licensed.
- Applies to
- VM-Series with Software NGFW Credits.
