Replacing the existing License

1)  Download your new license from https://support.fortinet.com

·       Upload the license via SSH to the supervisor and run the command phLicenseRead

·       Note: Using the phLicenseRead tool, you will not be able to identify the License type.

·       Note: If the license is incorrect, contact Fortinet support to get the right license. Do not install partial license.

3)  Log in to your FSM instance using admin credentials

4)  Go to Admin -> License and click the Upload button

5)  Click on Browse, select the license you downloaded from https://support.fortinet.com

6)  Add your admin credentials and click Upload 

NOTE: Your phProcesses will restart, the system will not reboot.

Wait a few seconds and you can log in again.

You can verify if the processes are up by connecting via SSH to the Supervisor and executing the 'phstatus' command.
