Activating add-on licenses

If you have purchased an add-on license and have a FortiCloud account, you can use the License Information widget to activate an add-on license. You will need the contract registration code to activate the license.

After you enter the contract registration code for the license, FortiManager communicates with FortiCloud to activate the license.

To purchase a new license:

1. Go to the Fortinet Technical Support site at https://support.fortinet.com/.
2. Log in by using your FortiCloud account credentials.
3. Purchase a license.

   You will receive an email from Fortinet with a PDF attachment that includes a contract registration code.
