[Update] Button Missing On Dashboard

Working to update a FortiWiFi 60D. It is currently on FortiOS 5.4.5. In the System Information section on the Dashboard it says:

Firmware Version: v5.4.5,build1138 (GA).

 

There is no [Update] Button. In the License information it says that Registration, IPS, AntiVirus, etc. expires 2018-03-30.

 

Any ideas why the [Update] link is missing? Any suggestions on updating the FortiOS without the button?

 

Thanks,

    Are you using a restricted administrator profile (no write permission to "maintenance" or "system" groups)? Or is the device managed by FortiManager?

    Also is the browser & version accepted by the FortiOS version? (see release notes for compatibility)

    Concerning the browser I have tried an updated version of Firefox and IE 11. Same story in both cases.

     

    Concerning Jordan's question. Somehow there are two administrators on this FortiGate, both are prof_admin. There was an admin user with super_admin privileges but this appears to have been disabled. It sounds as though this could be the problem. What is the solution to this? A trip on-site would take about 1 hour of driving.
