When running the https debug commands, the following error is seen:

 

diagnose debug application httpsd -1
diagnose debug enable

 

[httpsd 3496 - 1644506914 error] build_license_forticare_resellers[1240] -- Failed to get reseller list: http_error_code:[0]

 

This happens if there is an issue with FortiGuard anycast reachability. Disable anycast and try again: 

 

config system fortiguard
    set fortiguard-anycast disable

end

 

Alternatively, register from the CLI as follows:

 

diagnose forticare direct-registration product-registration -N <FAP/FSW-serialnumber> -a <username> -p <password> -T "<country>" -R "reseller" -e 1
