Streamlined subscription and FortiGuard settings management 7.6.1

Subscriptions and FortiGuard settings are now organized into separate tabs with clear distinctions between licensed, expired, and available-for-purchase subscriptions, providing customers with a more intuitive and informative layout.

Subscriptions

The Subscriptions tab is further divided by subscription status:

• Licensed: Displays each subscription or service in individual cards and allows you to interact with the license:

  • Expanding a card displays subscription details, such as the expiry date, signature and engine information, and the status.

    

  • Hovering over the version will display the date when the signature or engine was Last updated. For items that are only updated once it has been enabled in a policy, Version details will be most up to date if item is used in a policy will also be included in the update information.

    

  • Clicking Update licenses & definitions now will trigger a database update from FortiGuard.

  • Unregistered FortiGates are identified in the Basic Subscriptions > Support card. Click Register to proceed with registering the FortiGate. Once it has been registered, access to FortiCloud and transfer services are included under Support.

• Expired: Lists the subscriptions or services that have expired.

  

• Available for purchase: Lists available subscriptions in individual cards. Once an available subscription has been purchased, it will appear in the Licensed page.

  

The registration code can be activated by clicking Activate subscription in the gutter.
