Starting with FortiOS 7.2.1, Fortinet removed built-in 15 days free evaluation
license from the Fortigate VM images. It was replaced with the permanent
evaluation license, still free. The steps to get it have changed – you now
have to create a free Forticare/FortiCloud account, and use it inside the
Fortigate GUI to activate this evaluation license. The license will be generated
and added to your Forticloud account automatically.

  • Security Rules: the limit is 3, instead of 5.

  • Number of routes: the limit is also 3, while was unlimited before. This means severe limiting of dynamic protocols labs like OSPF/BGP. Currently (FortiOS 7.2.1) , though, there is no actual enforcement of this limit – I configured BGP and few static routes, 6 all in all, and it worked…
