Connecting to the GUI and enabling a trial license
Once you have configured a port's IP address and network mask, you can connect to the GUI by using a web browser.
Enabling the trial license requires internet access. This is used to connect to FortiCloud and your FortiCare account on the Technical Supoprt Site. It is also used to receive the license agreement. If you are licensing in an air-gap environment, see Licensing in an air-gap environment in the FortiManager Administration Guide.
To connect to the GUI and enable a trial license:
- Launch a web browser, and enter the IP address you configured for the port management interface.
- At the login page, select Free Trial, and click Login with FortiCloud to start the process of activating your free trial license.
If you do not have a FortiCloud account, click Register with FortiCloud to create one.
