Active-Passive HA with Trial License

[1mm]

Hello,

We have 2 Fortigate with Eval license applied, is it possible to configure Active-Standby Failover and then when we will receive our licenses we just apply them to the firewalls?

Hello @srajeswaran, Thanks for your reply,

Main question is if it possible create Active-Standby Failover with Eval License?

I mean License which provided by Fortinet for Test period, not that one you can receive after registration on FortiCare Portal.

As I see when I uploaded license to the First and Second Firewall works without issues. But I see that the Serial numbers on both firewalls are the same. And I'm thinking it is an issue...

Correct me please if I'm wrong.

You need to have 2 separate evaluation license and devices should have 2 different serial numbers.
