For FortiSandbox devices purchased after March 17, 2017, WINXP VM type and its licenses are no longer supported due to Microsoft EOL. |

The number of supported VM hosts for each model is only for images published by Fortinet. When using customized images, the number may be less because of possible higher resource requirements of those images. |
Users can also download, install and use optional images from the Optional VMs section in the VM Image page. Extra Windows OS licenses might be needed if the unit has none available. For example, when user tries to use Windows 10 image on a FSA-1000D unit, the user needs to purchase Windows 10 license keys from Fortinet.
Android VM is free to download, install and use. Users can also build and install their own customized images. For customized images, the user must apply their own software license. The following software is installed on each pre-installed Windows guest image:
- Adobe Flash Player
- Adobe Reader
- Java Run Time
- MSVC Run Time
- Microsoft .Net Framework
- Microsoft Office software (only on certain VM types)
- Web Browsers

For Optional VMs, the name shows the Windows OS type. If the name has O16 in it, it means it has Microsoft Office 2016 installed. For Android license, it’s free |
