This article explains how to renew a FortiClient EMS trial license.
Scope
FortiClient EMS.
Solution
Limitations of the Free Trial License:
A free trial license cannot be upgraded to a subscription license.
Transferring Configurations from the Free Trial License:
If a new license purchase is made and the settings from the trial period need to be retained, the new license must be registered as a separate unit.
This will generate a new serial number/unit within FortiCloud Asset Management. The same FortiCloud account used for the free trial license should be used.
Once the new unit is available in Asset Management, the Hardware ID from the trial unit must be copied to the new unit.
The Hardware ID can be located under the Product Information section in the EMS unit within Asset Management.
Decommissioning the Free Trial Unit:
The free trial unit must be decommissioned before proceeding with synchronization.
