Installing the Windows VM package
To complete the installation, download and install the Microsoft Windows VM package, and then activate it. You can download and install Windows VM packages automatically or manually.
Automatically download and install the package
FortiSandbox can automatically check for and download new Microsoft Windows VM packages. Login to the unit, go to Virtual Machine > VM Images to download and install a Windows VM image. The system must be able to access https://fsavm.fortinet.net. For more information, see the FortiSandbox Administration Guide in the Virtual Machine > VM Images section.
Manually download and install the package
Downloading the Windows VM package with a web browser is not recommended due to the size of the file. An FTP client that supports resume download is recommended.

MD5 file
- Download the MD5 value of images from ftp://fsavm.fortinet.net/images/v3.00/md5.txt.
- Put the package on a host that supports file copy with the SCP or FTP protocol.
FortiSandbox must be able to access the SCP or FTP server.
- In a console window, use the following command to download and install the package:
fw-upgrade -v -t<ftp|scp> -s<SCP/FTP server IP address> -u<user name> -f<file path>
Windows Sandbox VMs must be activated on the Microsoft activation server. This is done automatically when a system reboots. For activation to work, ensure port3 can access the Internet and the DNS server can resolve the Microsoft activation servers.
Install Windows license key file for newly installed Windows VM
You might need Windows license keys to activate newly installed Windows VMs. If necessary, purchase and install the license key file from Fortinet. For example, the base license for FSA-VM00 model does not contain any Windows license key. Windows license keys are stackable, which means newly ordered Windows keys are appended to existing ones and the new license file contains all ordered keys.
For a VM unit, the number of simultaneously scanned Microsoft Office files is limited by the number of installed Microsoft Office license keys. You can purchase extra Microsoft Office license keys to improve Office file scan capacity.
For FSA-VM00 models, you can just purchase Windows license keys for enabled Windows VM only. For example, if you only enable the WIN7X86VMO16 VM, you only need the Windows 7 license keys and Microsoft Office keys.
- Download the license key file from the Fortinet Customer Service & Support portal.
- Log into the FortiSandbox VM GUI and go to Dashboard > System Information widget.
- In the VM License field, click Upload License.
- Select the license file on the management computer and click Submit.
The FortiSandbox VM reboots.
On reboot, the Windows VM or Microsoft Office is automatically activated on the Microsoft activation server.
