AWS licensing migrations

[ChrisWilson_FTNT]

Hi There,

Is it even conceivable to migrate an OnDemand FortiGate in AWS over to a BYOL FortiGate or would a full rebuild be required?

Thansk.

Hello Christopher,

I'm pretty sure this would entail a rebuild as the cost model (Pay As You Go / BYOL) is built into the code of the VM that has been provisioned to the client.

Regards,

Blair

Hello,

No, you cannot relicense existing Windows Server AWS EC2 instances or migrate existing Windows Server EC2 instances over to BYOL VMs. However, if you need to migrate from license-included to BYOL and have applications or OS configurations that need to be migrated, we suggest that you reach out to our partners, such as CloudEndure or AppZero, who may be able to assist with these types of migrations.

AWS provides server migrations check out here https://aws.amazon.com/server-migration-service/

Thanks,
