License Information
Figure 37: The License Information widget
The License Information widget displays the status of your technical support contract, FortiGuard subscriptions, FortiCloud account, and other licenses.
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.
When a license is near to its expiry date, an option to extend it will appear that allows you to add a new license as soon as you buy it.
