FortiClient EMS 7.4 case: A school enables a paid FortiClient feature on a test profile without confirming its EMS license type supports it. Which first-line investigation would best distinguish the suspected cause?
Inspect EMS license state, endpoint count, license type and feature-specific requirements. This diagnostic separates the suspected fault from other FortiClient EMS problems before altering security policy. If confirmed, implement: Confirm the correct EMS licensing model and capacity for the fleet and feature set before enabling or expanding deployment. Evidence of success: The EMS license status shows valid entitlements and a pilot endpoint receives the authorized subscribed feature.

This check would be appropriate for another issue involving ems upgrade migration planning. For the present symptom, begin with: Inspect EMS license state, endpoint count, license type and feature-specific requirements.
