Registering and downloading your license

Licenses for the BYOL licensing model can be obtained through any Fortinet partner. If you don't have a partner, contact gcpsales@fortinet.com for assistance in purchasing a license.

After you purchase a license or obtain an evaluation license (60-day term), you will receive a PDF with an activation code.

To register and download your license:

1. Go to Customer Service & Support and create a new account or log in with an existing account.
2. In Asset Management, click Register Product, or click the Register More button.
3. Enter your reigstration code, and confirm the other details required for registration including your end user type.
4. At the end of the registration process, download the license (.lic) file to your computer. You will upload this license later to activate the FortiAnalyzer-VM.

   After registering a license, Fortinet servers may take up to 30 minutes to fully recognize the new license. When you upload the license (.lic) file to activate the FortiAnalyzer-VM, if you get an error that the license is invalid, wait 30 minutes and try again.
   For more information, see the FortiCloud Asset Management Administration Guide.
