  • Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 LTS Server and Desktop

Note

Because implementing or migrating to EMS 7.4 on Linux can be complex, Fortinet highly recommends the FortiClient Best Practices Service (BPS).

FortiClient BPS is an account-based annual subscription providing access to a specialized team that delivers remote guidance on deployment, upgrades, and operations. The service allows you to share information about your deployment, user requirements, resources, and other related items. Based on the information provided, BPS experts can provide recommended best practices, sample code, links to tools, and other materials or assistance to speed adoption and guide you towards best practice deployments. The team does not log into your devices to make changes. This is a consulting and guidance service which may include sample configurations or playbooks. This is not an on-site professional services offer.
