On FortiGate VMs that are using the FortiFlex license, once the expiration date is reached, an automatic three-day grace period offered by FortiGuard will start. Afterwards, the VM license will become expired, and all firewall functions stop working.

As part of a security enhancement, FortiGate initiated connections to central management using an on-premise FortiManager have these requirements:

  1. When initiating the connection from the GUI, administrators must validate and accept the FortiManager serial number from the FortiManager certificate before a connection is established.

  2. When initiating a connection from the CLI, administrators must configure the FortiManager the FortiManager serial number in central-management before a connection is established.

config system central-management
    set type fortimanager
    set serial-number <FortiManager Serial Number>
    set fmg <ip/domain name>
end
