Description
This article describes how to activate a VDOM license from CLI.
Scope
All FortiGate units with 2U form factor category and higher.
Solution
The License Key can be retrieved from the Fortinet Customer Service & Support by navigating to Asset Management / Products / More Views / License. In the Search License List search bar type VDOM. From the result, click on the desired Serial Number of the FortiGate that needs to be licensed.
The License Type and the License Key can be found under the License & Key Menu
The license can be applied using the following command:
# config global
# execute upd-vd-license <license key>
If the command is not available, that means that the device does not support the VDOM license increase.
No reboot is needed when applying for a VDOM license however, in a HA environment, the license needs to be applied to each unit.
To verify, execute '# get system status' and look for the below line.
Max number of virtual domains:
The 'FortiOS Handbook - Virtual Domains for FortiOS" document explains that the maximum number of VDOMs can be increased based on certain models.
This article assumes that a license was already purchased. For more information about the licenses, contact our customer service team.
