Enforce FortiCare registration with read-only CLI 7.4.9

This information is also available in the FortiOS 7.4 Administration Guide: Registering FortiGate

You must register a new FortiGate to FortiCare before you can access the FortiOS GUI and full CLI for further device configuration.

FortiGate setup wizard includes options to configure a gateway or upload an offline license file, allowing successful registration even when the device is off-network or unable to reach FortiCare. This enhancement resolves setup blocking issues and improves deployment flexibility.

Until a device is registered with FortiCare, the FortiOS CLI is read-only, except for the following commands

• config firewall

• config ftp-proxy

• config router

• config web-proxy

Select commands under config system are also available.
