Chapter 10 Install and System Administration for FortiOS 5.0 : Using the web-based manager : Dashboard : License Information widget
  
License Information widget
The License Information widget displays the status of your technical support contract and FortiGuard subscriptions. The FortiGate unit updates the license information status indicators automatically when attempting to connect to the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN). FortiGuard Subscriptions status indicators are green if the FDN was reachable and the license was valid during the last connection attempt, grey if the FortiGate unit cannot connect to the FDN, and orange if the FDN is reachable but the license has expired.
When a new FortiGate unit is powered on, it automatically searches for FortiGuard services. If the FortiGate unit is configured for central management, it will look for FortiGuard services on the configured FortiManager system. The FortiGate unit sends its serial number to the FortiGuard service provider, which then determines whether the FortiGate unit is registered and has valid contracts for FortiGuard subscriptions and FortiCare support services. If the FortiGate unit is registered and has a valid contract, the License Information is updated.
If the FortiGate unit is not registered, any administrator with the super_admin profile sees a reminder message that provides access to a registration form.
When a contract is due to expire within 30 days, any administrator with the super_admin profile sees a notification message that provides access to an Add Contract form. Simply enter the new contract number and select Add. Fortinet Support also sends contract expiry reminders.
You can optionally disable notification for registration or contract inquiry using the config system global command in the CLI. Selecting any of the Configure options will take you to the Maintenance page.
