| Scope | FortiManager v6.2.x to v7.2.x. |

In some situations, the 'FortiManager Cloud' button is grayed out, as shown below:
The most common cause of this issue is a device that does not have FortiManager Cloud entitlement or has an expired license. This can be confirmed with the following command, which should show a valid license for FortiManager Cloud under account contracts. The FortiManager Cloud entitlement will be shown as 'FMGC':
FGT # diagnose test update info Logs: idx=.. ..... System contracts: ..... Account contracts:
If no FMGC license is presented, proceed to manually update information from FortiGuard and monitor the debug below:
diagnose debug application update -1 diagnose debug enable execute update-now
It should show the output about 'FortiManager Cloud entitlement' as below:
