I was stuck on this for a while, so deciding to create a post and answering it for future Forti-newbies that experience the same issue.

On the VM Images page, you have to look carefully at the FILE INFO and choose an image that starts with FGT, and NOT FFW.

Hi vekete,

If you check the links https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-install-FortiGate-VM-on-Proxmox/ta-... , https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-install-FortiGate-KVM-in-EVE-NG/ta-... , https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-add-a-FortiGate-VM-into-the-GNS3/ta... and https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Install-FortiGate-VM-on-Hyper-V-and-apply/... you will noticed that all images in use starts with FGT. Basically if you follow the articles you should not get confused with FGT and FFW.
