I am trying to activate a Trial license for a 7.2.1 Fortigate VM - I have an active Fortinet account with FGT's under current contracts. When I try and activate the evaluation license I get the error below.
Gui error:
From the CLI I see this.
Requesting FortiCare Trial license, proxy:(null)
The unit has unrestricted access to the internet (DNS etc) here is the port config for the interface I am using
config system interface
edit "port3"
set vdom "root"

I encountered the same issue. My WAN configuration was set to DHCP. After manually configuring the DNS and adding a static route, I relaunched the evaluation registration, and it worked successfully.
