Description
The Fortinet Support Portal provides a range of functionality that allows Fortinet customers to create their own support accounts, register their Fortinet products and contracts, download the latest Firmware Images, and create support requests.
Access to some of these services is governed by the support entitlement of current FortiCare and FortiGuard Service contracts.
This article provides a number of attachments that describe how to use features within the Fortinet Support Portal (version September 20th 2019).
Note: The Fortinet Support Portal was updated on February 7th, 2021 and the changes have not yet been reflected in this article. This will be completed shortly. There is a help function built into many of the new portal pages which explain how to use the portal.
