For those who are wondering how to obtain license from the chinese website, you just have to generate a license file (.lic) using the python script

I don't know, I'm yet to test this further..

All license files are the same, and have the same values, basically the script creates 1 static file.

As for use, I created 4 VMs in Workstation and used the same license file, with all 4 connected to the internet, the license worked on all of them, the devices will have to be used for atleast 15-20 days to know if the license works, or expires after 14 days..

Of the 4 VMs 2 were using default vCPU (1 vCPU) and both of them were showing license as Expires soon, when the vCPU is bumped up to 2 or more the license shows as Valid. The vCPU was then changed back to 1, and was showing fine after reboot.

7.4.2 doesnt work, the license becomes invalid. Fortinet pobably added stricter validation of the license. In 7.4.1 the validating of the license seems to be a bit harder but still working. See this issue on github;

The licenses generated by the python script is probably not 100% correct compared to original licenses. Maybe the dev will fix the issues.

An update on the license status after 14 days.

The license now shows as Expires Soon, however, I can still create new policies, more than 5.

6.0.12, 7.0.6 and 7.4.1 are working

I can confirm upgrading to 7.4.2 loses the existing license, and this license is not accepted on 7.4.2..
