Licensing
With a multitude of deployment methods supported across various private and public cloud deployments, FortiGate-VM for Microsoft Azure
supports both on-demand (PAYG) and bring-your-own-license (BYOL) licensing models.

On-demand licensing is a highly flexible option for both initial deployments and growing them as needed. With a wide selection of supported
instance types, there is a solution for every use case. This license offers FortiOS with UTM bundle.

BYOL is ideal for migration use cases, where an existing private cloud deployment is migrated to a public cloud deployment. When using an
existing license, the only additional cost would be the price for the Microsoft Azure instances.

FortiGate-VM can also be deployed in regional Azure such as Azure Government, Germany, and China.
AzureStack is also supported (BYOL only).
