Licensing EQOD
When EQOD is first installed, it is unlicensed. In the unlicensed state, you can create objects but
no clusters will accept connections until a valid license is installed. You can license your system
offline using the CLI.
Before you can register, you will need:
Access to a new or existing Support Account . Information on how to create and manage a
support account is provided in the Fortinet Support Portal User Guide . If your organization already
has an account, obtain the user name and password information from your local account
administrator to log in.
The serial number of the unit you want to register. You can find this information using
either the CLI after installing the EQOD image on your VMware host:
1. Install EQOD on to your VMware host following the directions in the previous section.
