I normally buy new but I have another IT professional who no longer needs a FortiGate 60D firewall. Could I buy a bundle for it? Are there any other considerations that I may be overlooking? Thanks.

I bought one for my house used and i was able to buy renewal licenses for it. The key is to transfer the ownership from their fortinet account to yours. I had to open a ticket and explain the situation. Support reached out to the original owner, confirmed it, and then added the device to my profile.

Also- it helps to do a full format of the flash and reinstall firmware from TFTP to get a better feel that you've removed all the old stuff from prior configs.

It should be noted that service contracts always start at the end of the previous contract's duration. For example, if the old contract ended in June then your new contract will start in June as well. Effectively, you can use the signatures etc. for only 7 months with a 1year contract.

Good news is, FTNT will not backdate more than 6 months.
