About FortiManager on Microsoft Hyper-V

This document provides information about deploying a FortiManager virtual appliance in Microsoft Hyper-V server environments.

This includes how to configure the virtual appliance's virtual hardware settings. This guide presumes that the reader has a thorough understanding of virtualization servers.

This document does not cover configuring and operating the virtual appliance after successfully installing and starting it. For that information, see the FortiManager Administration Guide.

Licensing

Fortinet offers the FortiManager-VM with a limited, free trial license. Stackable licenses can be purchased, letting you expand your VM solution as your environment expands. You can purchase perpetual or subscription-based licenses. Perpetual licenses never expire.

For information on purchasing a FortiManager-VM license, contact your Fortinet-authorized reseller, or visit How To Buy.

When configuring your FortiManager-VM, ensure that you configure hardware settings acording to the minimum system requirements and consider future expansion. Contact your Fortinet-authorized reseller for more information.
