This article describes how to fix the license expiration issue when FortiDeceptor is in production and NOT a new deployment.
FortiDeceptor.
This situation can happen when there is an issue in the license file and for some reason the license file itself is expired inside the unit, and sometimes the GUI does not allow the user to upload a new license file in such a situation.
In this case, follow the below steps:
Run the below command:
vm-firmware-license -s<server ip> -t[scp|ftp] -u<user name> -p<password> -f<license filename> --> The full path of the license file.
Example:
vm-firmware-license -s192.168.1.100 -tftp -ufdc -pfortinet_fdc -ffdc_lice.lic
Note:
Re-uploading the license file will notfix the problem because it will not replace the old one, it requires to delete it and re-upload it again.
