Fortigate are a non-license type of firewall outside of the vdom counts increases on certain model and even with that, I think it' s done thru the fortinet subscriptions. What are you trying to do specifically ?

Can you tell us more detail ?
There are different licenses in fortigate.
For example, if you are on V4.3 , you can do " exe carrier-license XXXXX-XXXX-XXX" to enable FortiCarrier features.
For V5.0, the command is " exe factory-license XXXX-XXXX-XXX"

I am using the Fortigate VM 4.0. On first install it says I have 14 evaluation trial.
It looks like I need the following license.
VM License
FortiGaurd (maybe ?)
and optional FortiClient Software
How would I install what I need from command line instead of uploading via the Web GUI?
or perhaps I misunderstand how Fortigate is licensed?

For VM license, you have to upload a license file via GUI no CLI for it.
FortiGuard service usually comes with the FortiGate license, in your case is the FortiGate VM license.
Your status shows unreachable , make sure you have internet access and connect to the FortiGuard server correctly.
