Hello Ronny,
From reading our documentation one of the requirements for activating the FortiManager Trial license is that the VM has Internet access to complete the licensing process.

Yes, I know this article. This also works great if you have an appliance with valid support. The problem with the trial version is that there is no support (it is only a trial). Without support, the Entitlement File is also empty and cannot be imported in the Fortimanager.

Short Update: I was able to solve the problem by requesting a regular trial license from the responsible Fortinet sales partner. Since this has a test period of approx. 90 days, the entitlement file could also be generated and imported. I suspect that the “free” trial license is simply not designed for AirGapped environments, but generally requires an Internet connection for activation.
