Microsoft Office license upload and activation

You can purchase add-on Office licenses from Fortinet and upload them from the Dashboard > Status > Licenses widget.

By default, physical FortiSandbox models are shipped with a number of Microsoft Office license keys. You can purchase more licenses from Fortinet to improve the scan capacity of Microsoft Office files, or to activate Microsoft Office software inside a newly installed optional Windows guest image.

To upload a Microsoft Office license:
  1. Go to Dashboard > Status > Licenses widget > Microsoft Office.
  2. Click the upload link beside Microsoft Office.

    There is no upload license link for VMware, KVM, and Hyper-V.

  3. Click Upload Microsoft License File to browse for the license file on your management computer.
  4. Click Submit.
    Note

    The FortiSandbox unit no longer reboots after uploading the license file.

After the license file is installed, you can scan Microsoft Office files including .docx and .pptx file.
