FortiGate Licence Renewal: Quotation and Registration Checklist

Firstly clarify what service you renew

Fortinet’s current FortiGuard bundle guide lists security services with different scopes. A renewal quotation must match the existing device model, selected service lines and contract term; the same brand or a similar bundle name does not guarantee identical coverage.

Quad Bilişim’s proposal is to prepare the need list before the offer: what services are using, which wants to maintain and who will give final approval? Do not assume that existing use is the same as your requirement. You create a short scope record reviewed by the controller instead of copying the previous year received package automatically.

This content is not a new device selection or price list. A general guarantee of how a expired service will act in every model and software version. In such a question, the current manufacturer documents and support channel of the installation must also be verified.

1. Verify device and account records before requesting a quotation

Determine which device or installation are prepared first for the offer. If there are multiple branches or similarly named devices of the same business, wrong matching can easily escape. The following list is not a one-to-one recipe from a manufacturer menu, but the preparation record that Quad Bilişim suggests.

• Inventory: model of the device, name and location in the institution.
• Matching: serial number or related asset ID verified from authorized records.
• Liability: The official and alternative communication person of the institution governing the manufacturer account.
• Condition: available service lines and visible finish dates.
• Business registration: The request number is evaluated and approved by which version of the offer.

You don’t need to write admin password to email to verify serial number. If the registration screen is shared, close unnecessary account, customer and access information. The control document held in a shared folder should not provide access to unauthorized persons into the manufacturer account. If a presence is uncertain who belongs to, then resolve this ambiguity.

2. Compare quotations with the same scope and duration

The total amount of two offers is meaningful if the comparison ground is the same. Package name, service line, capsanan asset, time, start and finish information should be read together. If the service in a offer is not available in another offer, do not mark the lower total amount directly as more advantageous option.

Open a separate column for each offer in the evaluation table we have taken. Instead of writing missing information forecast, put the note “required to be” instead. Before the order, be responsible for the issues that will be announced and the date of response is certain. You are cleared in writing with tax, currency, quotation validity and separate labor pens; This guide does not determine a fixed rate or bedel for them.

It is useful to distinguish technical risk assessment with offer comparison. The IT controller, which defines the scope, can look at different angles to the same document that controls the purchase and approval of commercial information. In the decision record, you don’t need to do the same research at the next renewal of what option is written in a short way that is preferred.

3. Check the purchase and registration results separately

Confirm the renewal registration method against the relevant contract and order. Check the purchasing document separately from the service coverage shown for the device. For account, product registration or contract discrepancies, use Fortinet’s official customer service guidance.

Our operational proposal is to keep the visibility of the expected result on the right asset with the completion of the order as two separate control lines. You have the only evidence that a payment or order document is finished in terms of technical team. If the record is determined by who and when to check, then things are not lost among teams.

Record the status instead of trying again and over-working new codes if a non-consistent appears or trading on another device. Expected asset, the expected scope and the observed result is brought together in a short note. Unlike the “completed” request without any dissociation.

4. Create an acceptance record after renewal

The following admission list is a recommended working template for traceability of the license process. Access to your organization must be applied within the authorizations; security rules should not be closed for verification or unplanned trial on actual customer traffic.

1. Is the controlled asset ID same as the goal of the approved offer?
2. Can the expected service lines and time information be verified in records?
3. Are the information collected consistent with the scope approved in order?
4. Do you know the corresponding work controller control result?
5. Is the next review date and owner determined?

“Renewed” is the more opener of this registration for example: “The presence of central office was checked; compared with the scope and end information of the approved offer; there is no difference; the follow-up officer was appointed. If a line is not yet verified, leave it as an open job. You note the type of screen or document that makes control; duplicate sensitive information to unnecessary location.

5. Separate registration difference, licensing question and technical failure

The problem in the internet or VPN connection is not the same support request. Type the situation that is observed first: Is the scope of offer uncertain, whether it seems wrong, or there is an error in a working service? This distinction makes it easier to guide the right attachment.

Fortinet's official support pageIt specifies support redirects for contract, license, product registration and account management questions with technical problems. Do not remove the result that the contract is invalid or the device will no longer work with a screen failure. Add verified information within the authorized share limits.

If there is a connection problem FortiGate support request preparation guide helps edit different symptoms. For new installation steps FortiGate installation guide You can review it. These two content does not substitute the admission record of the resurfacing here; completes different business needs.

Install a resurfacing process that connects not to the calendar,

The remind that a single person standing in the calendar, she can stay unconstructed when the task is changed. Connect the renewing tracking to the business tracking layout of the institution. Get the task owners certain for pre-check, offer assessment, approval, conclusion verification and closing. If there is no critical information, clearly write that it will be completed by whom.

Determine the appropriate reminder intervals to your business through your own purchasing process and service conditions. This guide doesn’t offer a number of specific days as a manufacturer rule. The purpose of regular control is to reduce the pressure last day and see the scope differences in time; not to guarantee a certain price or safety result.

To make maintenance responsibilities written IT maintenance agreement coverage See also. Even if a task is to exclude the external source attachment, it should be protected who belongs to the approval and account within the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is FortiGate license renewal price not the only figure?

The asset to compare, service lines, time and quotation conditions will not be meaningful without clearing. This content does not give price; recommends evaluation via current and same comprehensive written offers.

Do you need to enter the renewal code manually at any time?

Do not assume the same registration method applies to every order. Verify whether a code or automatic registration is expected under your order terms; payment alone does not establish that renewal on the correct device is complete.

Does the license expires if all services stand for sure?

This guide doesn’t make such a generalization. The effect should be evaluated with related product, installation and service conditions. Contact the current manufacturer document or official support channel for your own situation; Don’t try to remove ambiguity by closing security controls.

How does a FortiGate license renewal differ from a new device bundle?

Extending service coverage on an operating FortiGate and buying a new device with a subscription bundle are different requests. Specify at the outset whether the quotation is for renewal against an existing serial number or new hardware. In an HA deployment, verify coverage for each device separately; do not assume one contract automatically covers two devices.

Do not use the one-year and three-year FortiGate 90G device bundles in our catalogue as renewal SKUs for your existing device. Match the model, term, support level and security services in the quotation lines. Current pricing and eligibility are determined in a written quotation.
