Evaluation license keys

Evaluations license keys provide access to FortiNAC for a limited number of days allowing you to evaluate the system without purchasing a full license. Time is counted based on the amount of time the system has been running. When the system is shut down and restarted the time count continues from where it left off until the time limit is reached.
