FortiManager Cloud version support
FortiManager Cloud supports two major release versions.
Each FortiManager Cloud major release version is able to manage FortiGate devices for its current version and the two previous versions. For example:
|
FMG-Cloud version |
Managed FortiGate version |
|---|---|
| FortiManager Cloud 7.0 | 7.0, 6.4, and 6.2. |
| FortiManager Cloud 7.2 | 7.2, 7.0, and 6.4. |
When a new major version is released, the lowest previously supported version becomes unsupported and will be phased out within 45 days. You can use this time to schedule an upgrade to a higher version.
With the release of FortiManager Cloud 7.2.1, the supported major versions are 7.2 and 7.0. FortiManager Cloud 6.4 is no longer supported.
The image below shows the supported FortiManager Cloud major release versions before and after the release of FortiManager Cloud 7.2.1, as well the FortiGate versions that can be managed.
Upgrading from FortiManager Cloud 6.4
Customers using FortiManager Cloud 6.4 must update their version to 7.0 or 7.2 within 45 days.
