On the FortiGate GUI, go under System -> FortiGuard, check the license information, which is displayed as expired.
Verify the license information of FortiGate on support.fortinet.com, which displays as active.
As per the article mentioned below, run the debugs on FortiGate CLI. Some debug commands for FortiGuard:

Force FortiGuard update after running debug:
execute update-now

In case the update is unsuccessful and Anycast is enabled on FortiGate, verify the status. To check if Anycast servers are up or experiencing an outage, see this document: FGT Anycast Query.
If the issue persists, try rebooting the FortiGate as a last resort.
