When a new FortiGate unit is powered on, it automatically searches for FortiGuard
services. If the unit is configured for central management, it will look for FortiGuard
services on the configured FortiManager system. The FortiGate unit sends its serial
number to the FortiGuard service provider, which then determines whether the FortiGate
unit is registered and has valid contracts for FortiGuard subscriptions and FortiCare
support services. If the FortiGate unit is registered and has a valid contract, the License
Information is updated.
If the FortiGate unit is not registered, any administrator with the super_admin profile sees
a reminder message that provides access to a registration form.
When a contract is due to expire within 30 days, any administrator with the super_admin
profile sees a notification message that provides access to an Add Contract form. Simply
enter the new contract number and select Add. Fortinet Support also sends contract
expiry reminders.
Optionally, you can disable notification for registration or contract inquiry.
To disable registration notification
config system global
set registration-notification disable
end
To disable contract expiry notification
config system global
set service-expire-notification disable
end
Selecting any of the Configure options will take you to the Maintenance page. For more
