How to get a trial license

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give Fortigate a try, and I installed it as a VM with an evaluation license.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much you can do with such a license, especially the inability to set VLANs up (due to interface limitations) is a big drawback to me.

So, I was wondering how I could get a 60-90 day trial license.

Could you please help me find out?

 

Thanks

As it is, the evaluation license is pretty much useless.

Thanks

Hello @lukehome ,

 

Thank you for contacting the Fortinet Forum portal.

I would recommend trying the demo by using the below link to try the features and test functionalities.

If the above doesn't work would recommend reaching out the sales team based on your requirements check if they can offer any trial

The evaluation license has quite a few limitations, including restricted interface options which can make setting up VLANs difficult. To get a 60-90 day trial license with full features, I'd recommend reaching out directly to Fortinet's sales team or a certified distributor. They often provide extended trials for potential customers. Much like preparing for running events, having the right tools and setup is key to a smooth experience—so getting that full license will help you test everything properly! Good luck!
