Thats correct. Only one trial VM per account.

Limitations of the evaluation VM license include the following:

  • Maximum of one free evaluation copy per FortiCare account

How is about accessing the Gui directly and entering the Forti account for activation?

Well, have you configured Route and DNS, and tested if both work?

 

execute ping www.google.com

 

Let's check if you have internet access from that VM first.

@srajeswaran Thanks for your reply. I tried it, but it cannot work. I think if the link you posted above is not for trial vm version. I already setup one fortigate with trial verson successfully. so that I think one account can only support ONE Fortigate vm. Is this correct? 

srajeswaran

Thats correct. Only one trial VM per account.

FortiGate-VM deployment packages are found on the Support site. In the Download drop-down menu, select VM Images. In the Select Product drop-down menu, select FortiGate, NOT FortiFirewall.

 

If you select "New deployment of FortiFirewall for VMware..." image, then you will get an error with trial license activation.

If you select "New deployment of FortiGate for VMware..." image, then you will be able to activate the trial license.
