Solution
Check the Java version on your system using the following command:
java -version
The output of this command should be similar to: openjdk version "11.0.12" 2021-07-20 LTS. If the output is different, then you need to change the Java version using the following command:
update-alternatives --config java
This command lists all the Java versions present on your system. Select the version that mentions "java-11-openjdk".

Once you have selected the correct version of Java, you can deploy your FortiSOAR license and the continue with configuring FortiSOAR.
