Hello,

Kindly, we want to download the Fortinet VMs for the following products : Fortigate, Fortiswitch, FortiSIEM... to build a test lab

Could anyone guide us how to download it and how to get demo licenses,

You should be able to create an account on the Fortinet support portal. From there you can download the VMs. Not all products have a free evaluation period when you deploy them. I would suggest reaching out to your local account team to discuss a proper evaluation.

Here's a tutorial on how to obtain evaluation license on FortiOS 7.2.1+

Thank you for your reply,

I already accessed the support portal and download the files, but it seems not to be the correct VMs since the size is only 85MB

The VM should be at lease more that 1GB, could you please confirm?

Thanks,

Hamza

Hello,

The file size is about 80-90MB correct

But the image you want to download to install a fresh FortiGate from scratch is likely this one:

New deployment of FortiGate for VMware
FGT_VM64-v7.2.4.F-build1396-FORTINET.out.ovf.zip (86.73 MB)

Dears, 

I downloaded and configured the Fortigate VM, but I couldn't find the  Fortiswitch OVF file, I found only *.out files,

Any idea where i can download the format that can be installed on vmware,

Thank you in advance
