Credits go to dennisv on this Thread: This post concerns when a freshly installed Trial license of a FortiGate VM does not work, due to an error in the evaluation license. The alternative is having Fortimanager to do so. Posted on 7 February 2021 By Philip Here a rewrite of a post on the forum of Fortinet. Internet access: Fortigate VM has to have Internet access to activate the license. See the reference at the bottom for details. The rest of limitations: additional limitations (CPU/Memory/etc.) that were present in 15 days license, are still enforced as well.
One license per one FortiCloud account: this means that to have multiple evaluation licenses for multiple Fortigates, we need to create multiple FortiCloud accounts, nuisance but doable. And on top of it, it also counts Loopback interfaces as well. This counts also interfaces that are in state disabled/ down. Number of interfaces: maximum 3, was unlimited. Currently (FortiOS 7.2.1), though, there is no actual enforcement of this limit - I configured BGP and few static routes, 6 all in all, and it worked without any issue.
This means severe limiting of dynamic protocols labs like OSPF/BGP. Fortigate default login is admin, and then theres no password (just press enter) then it forces you to set up a new. Number of routes: the limit is also 3, while was unlimited before. Security Rules: the limit is 3, instead of 5.
