FortiVM license

[adminlight]

Hi everyone,
I'm using FortiVM, and I need some help with my serial number. It starts with FGVMELTM, and I wonder if it's a VM01 license. Can anyone confirm this for me?

Thanks.

What does Model: EL (20) mean?

The vm models should be based on how many vCPU 

For your case, your output showed : CPU: 1 (subscription:1)

Then this means it will be VM-01 

You may refer to the datasheets for reference : https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/data-sheets/fortigate-vm.pdf

CPU/memory wise, this is equivalent to VM-01, as already noted by tana, but the license type is not exactly the same (perpetual VM-01 has a different kind of serial number). Based on the serial number and the license having an expiration date, this will be some sort of subscription-based VM license (e.g. Flex-VM/Forti-Flex).
