FortiFlex grace period 7.2.7

Since FortiFlex-licensed VMs have granular control of points and expiration dates on FortiFlex, a grace period is unnecessary for FortiGate-VMs using FortiFlex license. Once the expiration date is reached and the three-day grace period that FortiGuard offers passes, the VM license becomes expired, and all firewall function stops working. The FortiFlex program itself has a 30-day grace period for negative balances for prepaid accounts.

The following shows a FortiGate-VM with a license with a termination date of November 4, 2023 on the FortiFlex portal:

After the three-day grace period from FortiGuard, on November 7, 2023, the license becomes invalid.
