FortiGate VM v8.0.1 Trial License Activates Successfully, but GUI Immediately Logs Out (Hyper-V)
FortiGate-VM64-HV Trial Issue on Hyper-V
Platform:
- Hyper-V (Server 2019) Gen 1 virtual machine
- FortiGate-VM64-HV v8.0.1 build0245 (GA.F)
- Trial License
Issue:
The trial license activation completed successfully and the CLI shows "License Status: Valid". However, after logging into the web GUI, I logged out immediately.
CLI access works normally.
Network Connectivity:
- Can ping 8.8.8.8 successfully
- Default route configured via 192.168.1.254 on port1

HTTPS Debug:
Session key request authorized for admin.
Completed GET request for "/api/v2/monitor/system/usb-log" (HTTP 200)
The debug appears to indicate successful login and successful API requests, but the GUI still logs out or displays a blank page.
Has anyone seen this behavior with FortiGate-VM64-HV v8.0.1 trial deployments on Hyper-V?
