How to Renew Your Fortigate Vm Trial License
If you are using a Fortigate virtual machine (VM) for testing or evaluation purposes, you may encounter a situation where your trial license has expired and you need to renew it. In this article, we will show you how to do that in a few simple steps.
A Fortigate VM trial license is valid for 14 days and allows you to use all the features of the Fortigate firewall. However, after the trial period ends, you will not be able to access the web-based management interface or use any of the firewall functions. You will also see a message on the console that says \"The license has expired\".
To renew your Fortigate VM trial license, you will need to request a new one from the Fortinet website. Here is how:
Go to https://www.fortinet.com/products/fortigate/fortigate-vm and click on \"Try Now\".
Fill out the form with your name, email address, company name, country, and phone number. You will also need to agree to the terms and conditions and the privacy policy.
Check your email for a confirmation message from Fortinet. Click on the link in the email to activate your account and download your new trial license file.
Log in to your Fortigate VM console using the username \"admin\" and no password. Enter the command \"execute restore vmlicense\" and follow the instructions to upload your new trial license file.
Restart your Fortigate VM by entering the command \"execute reboot\".
Log in to the web-based management interface using the username \"admin\" and no password. You should see a message that says \"The license is valid\".
Congratulations! You have successfully renewed your Fortigate VM trial license. You can now continue to use the Fortigate firewall for another 14 days.
If you have any questions or issues with your Fortigate VM trial license, you can contact Fortinet support at https://support.fortinet.com.
Why Use a Fortigate VM
A Fortigate VM is a virtualized version of the Fortigate firewall that runs on a hypervisor such as VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, or XenServer. It provides the same security features and performance as a physical Fortigate appliance, but with more flexibility and scalability.
Some of the benefits of using a Fortigate VM are:
You can deploy it quickly and easily on any supported platform.
You can adjust the resources and capacity of your Fortigate VM according to your needs.
You can integrate it with other virtualized network components such as routers, switches, load balancers, and VPNs.
You can manage it centrally using the FortiManager or FortiCloud platforms.
You can backup and restore it using the FortiGuard or FortiSandbox services.
A Fortigate VM is ideal for testing or evaluating the Fortigate firewall in a virtual environment before deploying it in a production network. It is also suitable for small to medium-sized businesses that need a cost-effective and flexible security solution.
How to Upgrade Your Fortigate VM License
If you are satisfied with your Fortigate VM trial license and want to continue using it beyond the 14-day period, you will need to purchase a full license from Fortinet or an authorized reseller. A full license will unlock more features and functions of the Fortigate firewall and allow you to use it indefinitely.
To upgrade your Fortigate VM license, you will need to follow these steps:
Purchase a full license from Fortinet or an authorized reseller. You will receive a license activation code and a license file via email.

Enter the command \"execute update-license\" and follow the instructions to enter your license activation code and upload your license file.
Restart your Fortigate VM by entering the command \"execute reboot\".
Log in to the web-based management interface using the username \"admin\" and no password. You should see a message that says \"The license is valid\".
