I am trying to register a permanent test licence for a fortigate - I did this once, but am unable to do it a second time.
I know that only one licence is available per Forticare account, but I have decommissioned the previous licence in the Assets screen.
When I try to register the licence it does not reboot the Fortigate VM. When I debug what happens, I see this:
[httpsd 4215 - 1730202905 info] fweb_debug_init[605] -- User-Agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/129.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

As you can see, i don't have any assets registered to my account. The Fortigate is able to ping internet hosts by name, so this is not a name resolution or reachability problem - in fact you can see from the out put above, it is successfully getting a response from the API. Just not the one I need.
Any help appreciated!

Hello,
I guess you are following what is written here:
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.10/administration-guide/441460
Mind that decommission can take some time to be executed (worst case let's say 1 day), moreover ensure that there are no other units using the same license. What is puzzling me is the error 500 by the way!
Just wait from some time and try again
I hope this help
Regards
Luca
