Upload the FortiPAM-VM license file

Before using the FortiPAM-VM you must enter the license file that you downloaded from FortiCloud upon registration.

Plan a maintenance window to apply the FortiPAM-VM license as the VM will reboot.

As your organization grows, you can simply either allocate more resources or migrate your virtual appliance to a physical server with more power, then upgrade your FortiPAM-VM license to support your needs.

To upload the FortiPAM-VM license file:

You must be in maintenance mode to be able to upload a license. See Maintenance mode.

1. Log in to the FortiPAM-VM from a browser.

   Access FortiPAM by using the IP address configured on FortiPAM port1.

   The Upload License File pane appears immediately after you log in.

   If FortiPAM is in evaluation mode, go to Dashboard > Status, click the Virtual Machine widget, and click FortiPAM VM License.

   Use the https prefix with the FortiPAM IP address to access the FortiPAM-VM GUI.

2. In the Upload License File pane, select Upload and browse to the license file on your management computer.
3. Click OK.
4. After the boot up, the license status changes to valid.

   Use the CLI command get system status to verify the license status.
