Deployment

Before you deploy a FortiGate-VM, ensure that you have met the requirements described in Preparing for deployment and that the correct deployment package is extracted to a folder on the local computer (see Downloading the FortiGate-VM deployment package).

After you deploy a FortiGate-VM and upload a full license to replace the default evaluation license, you can power on the FortiGate-VM and test connectivity.
