Popular Post tryllz Posted January 13 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 13 (edited) I have tested HA on this and it does not work. Every device has a random Serial when 1st booted up, however, once licensed with this license all Fortigate's have the same Serial number. Serial number is one of the components of HA setup, and there is no way to change the serial Number without FortiManager. The Python script does not have anything relating to this either.

Thanks @sillysatan for pointing that out, I did go through it yesterday, just did not think modification would result in an acceptble license. Glad to say that it worked with some tinkering, currently testing HA, shows both Primary and Secondary, will update on how to get the licenses with different Serial Number in some time.

Popular Post tryllz Posted January 14 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 14 (edited) Here is how to get unique Serial Number for each VM (10 unique license file have been added for download at the end). The Serial Number in line 105 has to be changed but only the last 9 characters, booting up a new VM will generate a new Serial number and its last 7 characters are to be used. Serial Number in line 105 - FGVMPGLICENSEDTOCATALPA New VM Serial - FGVMEVZQ002KI8CF Serial Number To Use - FGVMPGLICENSED02KI8CF (NOTE : I have removed TO from the original Serial Number) Save the Python file Now run the Python script to generate the license file to use. This has to be repeated with a new Serial Number for each VM, I'm not a python guy so I don't know if the script can be edited to randomize this. Also of note is that in some casses the license shows as below. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Below is a working HA setup, as you can see the Serial Numbers are now different. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up If a Serial Number has an _ or - character in it, it can be removed and the characters can be used consecutively to use the Serial Number, tested only with _. 10 unique license files for use can be downloaded from below : This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Edited January 14 by tryllz 60 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" tested with 7.4.2 but not working: have you tested it ? p.s.: I have not understand why you indicate "changed but only the last 9 characters" when after you use last 7 characters ... For example FTGVM-7.2.4# diag debug vm-print-license FGVMEVAA2S1KLX8A so taken the latest 7Â characters S1KLX8A and copied on the Python file on line 105 FGVMPGLICENSEDS1KLX8A run the Python script to generate the license file to use but not working....

Its clarified in earlier comments this license does not work with 7.4.2.. When you say not working, what is not working, the script does not generate a license file, or the license file generated is not accepted by Fortigate, or something else. Your question is not clear.. Can you share screenshots of what is not working.. Edited January 21 by tryllz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kechik Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Hi, Â Â May i know whether we can make this license permanent? I means after we apply license then we commit the image. So if the image is corrupt then we juat deploy back the image that has been included the license. Appreciate someone feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate someone feedback The best way is to take back up of configuration, create a new VM, license it, then import configuration.. The license cannot be changed once its added..

Latest in the 7.4.X line is 7.4.1. Updating a licenced 7.4.1 will break the licence too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
