Fortimanager VM 7.4.5 connect fortigate 7.0.9 error

Good evening!
Friends, I'm using two images in EVE-NG, one from fortigate v7.0.9 and the other from fortimanager v7.4.5 build2553.
I connected to both with the forticloud trial.
I was configured a management interface on both and another Lan interface (where I would connect between them)
They both ping each other and fortigate closes telnet on port 541 as I have checked. 

I activated FMG-Access on the lan port on the fortigate where I will communicate with the fortimanager.
I reduced encryption in fortimanager, set low and also activated fgfm-ssl-protocol sslv3.
I put the Fortimanager IP in the fabric connector > Fortimanager, on premises.
I always get this error (not manage)as I enclosed snapshot. 
I tried everything possible, I have no more ideas. Please Help thanks in advanced.

Hi,

 

Please check from Certificates if CN showed FortiGate SN.

go to System -> Certificates -> check "Fortinet_Factory" cert and expand to check the CN=<value is it a correct FGT Serial No.>

If not same, then at FGT run CLI command:

# get sys status <--------- copy FGT Serial No. Eg: FGTXXXXXXXXXXX

# exe vm-license <copied FGT Serial No.> <--------- this will trigger reboot FGT.

Eg:

exe vm-license FGTAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

If yes, you can run below config to FortiManager acknowlegde FGT SN without cert.

 

config system global ( from FortiManager )

    set fgfm-peercert-withoutsn enable .

end
