Licenses (Support, FortiGuard, FortiCloud, FortiClient, FortiToken Mobile,
VDOMs)
Register and apply licenses to each worker before adding the worker to the SLBC cluster.
This includes FortiCloud activation, FortiClient, and FortiToken licensing, and entering a
license key if you purchased more than 10 Virtual Domains (VDOMS).
Certificates
You can also install any third-party certificates on the primary worker before forming the
SLBC cluster. Once the cluster is formed third-party certificates are synchronized to all
workers.
