Migrating FortiAnalyzer-VM licenses
You can apply a VM subscription license (VM-S) on top of an existing FortiAnalyzer-VM license, allowing you to migrate your FortiAnalyzer-VM (perpetual) to the VM-S (subscription) model. FortiAnalyzer will use the new license's serial number and notify all connected FortiGate models of the change.
Alternatively, you can migrate an existing subscription license to a perpetual license using the same process.
To migrate a license:
-
Download your new subscription license file from FortiCare, which includes the new serial number.
-
In the FortiAnalyzer-VM CLI, run the following command:
execute migrate serial-number-list <new serial number>
After running the command, OFTP will automatically restart.
-
After a short wait, run the following command in the FortiAnalyzer CLI to ensure that each FortiGate is connected to the FortiAnalyzer.

-
Install the new license file through the FortiAnalyzer GUI.
FortiAnalyzer will automatically reboot once the license file has been added.
-
After the FortiAnalyzer reboots, use the following CLI commands on FortiAnalyzer to verify that FortiGate devices are able to connect and send logs, and check that the new serial number and license information has been migrated on FortiAnalyzer.
