FML-VM02 Overview
The FML-VM02 refers to the FortiMail Virtual Appliance license for deployment on hypervisors / cloud environments, supporting 2 vCPU cores.
This license enables the FortiMail VM to deliver enterprise-grade email security functions—such as antispam, antivirus, content filtering, email continuity, DLP, encryption, sandboxing, and related services—according to the subscribed service bundles (e.g. FortiGuard Base, Enterprise ATP, Advanced Administration).
Licenses are term-based (e.g. 1, 3, 5 years) and can include add-ons for advanced management, multi-tenancy, cloud API integration, etc.
In operational use, the FML-VM02 license dictates the virtual resource allocation (2 vCPUs) and limits such as number of protected domains, mailbox capacity, throughput, and service features based on bundle level.
