Frequently Asked Questions
1, What are the cltforeneas batwoen Fortiliont vB.0 and

is consistant with al the mainstream Enclpoint protection
‘solutions. We ne longer offer free, fuloatured Fortiliont. We
also do not require @ separate license on FortiGate in orcer for
it to receive FortiCtent telemetry. When it comes to applying
licenses on EMS, the process remains the same.
