Register FortiAuthenticator-VM on FortiCloud

To obtain the FortiAuthenticator-VM license file you must first register your FortiAuthenticator-VM on FortiCloud.

To register your FortiAuthenticator-VM:

1. Log in to FortiCloud using an existing support account or select Create an Account.
2. In the toolbar select Asset > Register/Activate.
   The Registration Wizard opens.
3. Enter the license registration code from the FortiAuthenticator-VM License Certificate that was emailed to you, and select Next.
   The Registration Info page is displayed.

   
   

4. Enter the support contract number, product description, Fortinet Partner, and IP address.

   

   As a part of the license validation process, FortiAuthenticator-VM compares its IP address with the IP information in the license file. If a new license has been imported or the FortiAuthenticator-VM’s IP address has been changed, the FortiAuthenticator-VM must be rebooted in order for the system to validate the change and operate with a valid license.

   FortiCloud does not currently support IPv6 for FortiAuthenticator-VM license validation. You must specify an IPv4 address in both the support portal and the port management interface.

5. Select Next to continue.
   The Fortinet Product Registration Agreement page is displayed.
