How do I activate the 60-day trial license on FortiGate-VM?

Learn to activate FortiCare's 60-day trial on VM in simple steps.

To activate the 60-day trial license on FortiGate-VM, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a FortiCare Account: If you don’t already have one, create a free FortiCare/FortiCloud account.
  2. Log into FortiGate-VM: Access the FortiGate-VM through the GUI using your web browser.
  3. Register the VM: Navigate to the Asset > Register/Activate section.
  4. Enter Registration Code: Enter your trial license activation code in the Specify Registration Code field.
  5. Complete Registration: Fill in the required details and proceed with the registration.
  6. Download License File: After completing the registration process, download the .lic license file to your computer.

Note — After downloading the license file, upload it to your FortiGate-VM instance. This should activate your trial license. If you encounter any issues, such as error messages or connectivity problems, ensure that your VM has full internet access and that no upstream firewall or device is blocking the traffic.

Note — For a permanent trial mode, you can follow the instructions in the Fortinet Document Library, which will guide you through obtaining and activating a permanent evaluation license for your FortiGate-VM. Remember, the permanent trial mode has certain limitations compared to a full license, so ensure it meets your requirements before proceeding. The Fortinet Community forums can be helpful if you need further assistance.
