Description
Every Fortinet VM includes a 15-day trial license.
During this time the FortiGate-VM operates in evaluation mode.
Before using the FortiGate-VM, enter the license file downloaded from Customer Service & Support upon registration.
This article describes how to upload the FortiGate-VM license.
Solution
To upload the FortiGate-VM license file via the GUI:
v7.0/v7.2
v7.4.
* Do not upload the license file under 'Upload License File'. This will result in the error 'Manual license upload failed'.
This command automatically reboots the firewall without giving a chance to back out or delay the reboot.
The Fortinet Security Fabric brings together the concepts of convergence and consolidation to provide comprehensive cybersecurity protection for all users, devices, and applications and across all network edges.
