Validate FortiSandbox License

FortiSandbox needs to point to FortiManager as License Server. The initial status of the FortiSandbox license should be unlicensed (Upload License) in the System Information dashboard.

To validate a FortiSandbox license:

1. Log in to FortiSandbox.
2. Go to System > FortiGuard and configure the following settings and click Apply.

   FortiGuard Server Settings	Select Use override FDN server to download module updates (IP or FQDN) and enter the FortiManager's IP address.
   FortiSandbox Community Cloud & Threat Intelligence Settings	Select Use override server for community cloud server query (IP or FQDN)) and enter the FortiManager's IP address.

   

3. Click Update from FDN Now.
4. Download the FortiSandbox license file from the product page on support.fortinet.com. See, Asset Management Admin Guide > Viewing product details.
5. Log in to FortiSandbox.
6. Go to Dashboard > Status, click anywhere inside System Information > Upload VM License. Select the (.lic) file for FortiSandbox. FortiSandbox will reboot.

   

7. After rebooting, issue a test-network on FortiSandbox to confirm the license status.
8. Log in to FortiManager.
9. Go to FortiGuard > Licensing Status. Verify that FortiSandbox is licensed. You should see the license dates of FortiSandbox.
