Licenses

The Licenses widget displays information about the licenses on your FortiSandbox unit. Only the licenses available for your FortiSandbox appear.

Hover your mouse over the status icon to view the license status and details.

On VM models, use the Upload License link next to the Fortisandbox-VM field to install the license. The system reboots and activates the newly installed Windows guest VMs.

On hardware models, use the Upload license link next to the Windows VM field to install the license. The system does not require a reboot, and will activate the newly installed Windows guest VMs.

Tooltip

On FortiSandbox hardware units, the Upload License icon can accept the Microsoft Windows license file, Microsoft Office license file, and Microsoft Windows & Office license file as FSA-VM.

Windows VM

Microsoft Windows VM license activation and initialization status.

For more information, see Log & Report > Events > VM Events.

In addition to the pre-installed default set of Windows VM images, you can also download, install, and use optional images from the Optional VMs section in the VM Image page. Extra Windows OS licenses might be needed if the unit has none available. For example, when you try to use a Windows 10 image on a FortiSandbox unit, you might need to purchase Windows 10 license keys from Fortinet. After purchase, download your license file from the Fortinet Customer Service & Support portal. Then use the Upload License link next to the Windows VM field to install the license. The system reboots and activates the newly-installed Windows guest VMs.

Microsoft Office

Microsoft Office product activation status.

The active icon and caution icon can both appear when Microsoft Office software is activated on some enabled VMs but not activated on other enabled VMs. For more information, see Log & Report > Events > VM Events.

Windows Cloud VM

Windows Cloud VMs are an extension of units' scan power by sending files to Fortinet Sandboxing cloud to scan. This line shows the date that Windows Cloud VM contract expires, and number of remote clones reserved in cloud.

In a cluster environment, each VM00 unit in the cluster can purchase Windows cloud VM seat counts to expand the cluster's scan power. These cloud VM clones are local to that VM00 unit and are not shared.

MacOS Cloud VM

The date the MacOS contract expires and the number of remote clones reserved in Fortinet MacOS cloud. In cluster mode, the total reserved clone numbers displays on the primary node. All cluster units share a collected pool of reserved clones from each unit. This means that even nodes with no MacOS VM contract can still upload MacOSX files to the cloud for scanning.

Customized VM

Customized VM license activation and initialization status.

Mail Transfer Agent Service

Mail Transfer Agent Service license activation and initialization status.

VM Status
