FortiGate-VM under Hyper-V, evaluation license fails + Web GUI loops at login

Hello!
I just recently downloaded the Hyper-V image for FortiGate-VM, version 8.
The VM boots fine, no issues, the CLI is accessible through SSH.
When comes time to apply the evaluation license, it seems to fail (using the “exec vm-license-options” command).
On the Web GUI, the evaluation license seems to apply (by logging in with my Fortinet account) but after a reboot, it says “No License” in the system status.
Then, in the Web GUI, I login, briefly see the “what’s new” video pop up and then it pops back to the login screen.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
EDIT: I forgot to add that when running “exec vm-license” it requires a token, which I do not have.
