FortiGate endpoint registration limits
To view the number of endpoints that are registered and the total that can be registered, go to System > Dashboard > Status. Under License Information, find FortiClient Software. You will see a line like “Registered/Allowed 4 of 10”. This means that there are four registered endpoints and a total of ten are allowed.
When the registration limit is reached, the next FortiClient-compatible device will not be able to register with the FortiGate unit. The user sees a message in FortiClient application about this. The FortiClient profile is not sent to client and the client cannot connect through the FortiGate unit.
For all FortiGate models, the maximum number of registered endpoints is ten. For all models except 20C, you can purchase an endpoint license to increase this capacity:
