Activating the license

By default, FortiConverter is installed with a limited trial license. If you have purchased a full license, download it to unlock the complete feature set.

To purchase a license, use your usual Fortinet sales channel. For other licensing issues, see Licensing for more information.

If you have already activated a license for the legacy FortiConverter application on your device, the new application automatically uses that license when it’s installed.

To activate the license

1. Double-click the FortiConverter shortcut.
2. Click License.
3. Copy the Hardware ID value to the clipboard.
4. Ensure you have purchased a license, then sign in to the Fortinet Technical Support web site: https://support.fortinet.com/

Registration uses a simple, four-step wizard that is commonly used for many Fortinet products.

5. On the first page of the wizard, enter the registration code you received when you purchased your FortiConverter product.



6. Enter the Hardware ID you copied earlier, an optional description, and choose your Fortinet partner from the list.



7. After you agree to the license terms, the final page of the wizard allows you to download the license file (.lic file).



8. In FortiConverter, from the License tab, click the icon next to License File, then navigate and select the .lic file.
9. Click Activate.

FortiConverter validates the license file and changes your Activation Status from Trial to Activate. Your license is valid for all FortiConverter software updates released until the date specified by License Expiry Date.After the license is activated, the expiry information is under the License tab.
