    Hi Ashraf

    Try send an email to cs@fortinet.com.

    But in case this is second hand then probably they will not help unless the mail is sent by the original owner (original registration account).

    If the reseller is an official FTNT partner then it is safe. Otherwise better avoid, unless it is for your internal lab and you don't need support or subscription.
