License Information

Hello, help me please.
I have two similar fortigate devices. One of them displays full license information, the other one displays it in a "short" format. Why is this happening?

Hi lmbrd,

You can check the license information in your database as I can see Intrusion Prevention and Antivirus license information is not showing in the second snapshot

From System -> Feature Visibility , you can enable the Intrusion Prevention and Antivirus

Please refer to the below document for more information:

Thank you so much for sharing the link.

Understanding Fortinet’s licensing can be tricky, especially with renewals and different subscription levels. Checking the FortiCare support portal is a great way to get clarity. If your license isn't reflecting, try manually refreshing your device’s connection to FortiGuard. When researching legal or policy-related issues like cybersecurity and justice systems, it’s important to use reliable sources. GradesFixer provides well-researched essay examples, including detailed insights on criminal justice essay examples. If you need help with structured research, their free resources can be a great starting point.

Hi @lmbrd ,

 

If you can provide those 2 FortiGate SNs, I may check them for you in the back-end system.

Hello @lmbrd 

Some FortiGate models (e.g., entry-level vs. higher-end models) may display licensing details differently based on their capabilities or the FortiGuard services enabled for them

Check the license status using:

  • CLI: diag autoupdate versions

    let us know the firmware version and model.

Thanks,

Pavan
