Hi Kalliem,
The behavior of a FortiGate device when a license expires can vary depending on the specific type of license and the configuration. In general, here's what you can expect:
Grace Period: Some FortiGate licenses come with a grace period. During this grace period, the device may continue to operate with limited functionality or reduced security features. The purpose of the grace period is to allow organizations to renew their licenses without immediate service interruption.
Service Disruption: In some cases, when a license expires, certain services or features that depend on that license may stop working immediately. This could include services like antivirus, intrusion prevention, web filtering, or VPN services. The extent of the disruption will depend on which license has expired.
Limited Functionality: Even if the license has expired, basic network routing and connectivity might still be operational. However, advanced security features that require a valid license will be disabled or restricted.
Notifications: FortiGate devices typically provide warnings and notifications before a license expires. These notifications can be configured to alert network administrators, allowing them to take action before the expiration date.
[Correction always welcome]
