This behavior is expected, as the license file download option for all FortiEDR On-Prem deployments has been removed from the FortiCloud Portal.

To obtain the FortiEDR On-Prem license file, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Fortinet Support Portal.

  2. Navigate to: Services -> Cloud Services -> FortiEDR.

  3. Ensure the product registration has been completed successfully.

  4. Once registration is complete, the license blob will be available for download on the same page.

  5. Download the license blob from Cloud Portal.
