Hello @fox ,

 

I remember the FortiOS image is a subscription-based image. Because of this, this image has no trial. If you want to use Fortigate with a trial license. You can use the FGT_VM64 image, not FortiOS-VM64.

Please download FGT_VM64 image and then once it boots up you will be prompted to provide a trial license, for this you can create a new account and get a trial license.

Hello @m3ds0 ,

 

If you want to try FortiGate you need to use the name that starts with FGT_VM64_KVM image for KVM do not use the name that starts with FFW_VM64_KVM.
