Hello @taden ,

If you have any contract for another Fortigate device, you can download an image from the support website. The support website allows this. 

But you can't use security features (AV, Web Filter, IPS, etc) with this firewall without a contract. You can use just non-security features ( VPN, Routing, Firewall Policy, etc).

Hi @taden,

You can download the firmware image from support.fortinet.com if you have a valid license for another FortiGate. Please refer to this article: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-manually-download-Firmware-of-Forti...
