Hi. Can I check if FortiProxy license expire, will the current configured web filter and antivirus profile still function as normal? Will firmware upgrade still be successful? What about explicit proxy settings configured, will it still work?

Hi @sleepingzzz ,

 

It depends on what licenses you are asking for.

 

Literally, if UTM licenses expire, UTM will not work anymore except for the URL Filter which does not need a UTM license.

If your Firmware Update license expires, no, you can't upgrade the firmware via FortiGuard.

 

For Explicit Proxy settings, I believe that they will still work.

Hi @dingjerry_FTNT,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Can advise what is UTM license? Is it the IPS, Antivirus and Web Filtering license?

 

If disable the web filtering, antivirus and IPS, will FortiProxy allow traffic to go through when license expire?

Hi @sleepingzzz ,

 

Yes, UTM means something like, AntiVirus, AntiSpam, Web Filter, DNS Filter, Application List, IPS, etc.

 

And yes, FortiProxy should still have the basic functions on traffic when there is no license.  

 

You can check all licenses status in the License Widget in the Dashboard.
