Clustering (HA): will not work in any form.Virtual IP mapping for a single internal server (usual VIP static or portforwarding), will work. VIP load balancing to multiple servers: will not work.Any Fortiguard related services: unavailable: Any subscription-based services like signature updates, Web Filter Category filtering, DNS filtering will NOT work as this license does not allow any Fortiguard connection.Importing configuration: not possible: Kind of limitation, but actually not - no one stops you from copy & pasting any configuration on the CLI.FortiOS version upgrade: not possible: this one is expected, and not that important.The SSH admin access is fully functional. HTTPS GUI access for admin: disabled.See above for why, but the result is you can only access Fortigate via HTTP not HTTPS as admin (not a big deal for labs).

Also, any HTTPS traffic inspection, even certificate-only, is not going to work.

But SSL VPN, AppControl, and Web Filtering for HTTPS traffic will not work at all, unless you use some Windows 2000-era browser with such a low encryption, and even then, it will not work for other reasons. It means we can create IPsec with DES algo only, which is actually OK for labbing, IPSec VPN tunnels, including Forticlient dial-up, will come up just fine and we can later run OSPF/BGP over them. In my view this is the most limiting disabled feature.

Crypto - IPSec/SSL/TLS: Low only, means only DES is enabled as algorithm.

This causes discomfort as forces us to delete some rules to add new ones.

5 Security Rules Maximum: At any given moment, you can have up to 5 security rules present.

And you cannot create fully featured VDOMs on this license, just a single default one root VDOM is available. This is quite limited mode and does not approximate fully featured multi-VDOM mode. you can create 1 admin-only VDOM and 1 traffic-only VDOM.

VDOMs: Only split-VDOM mode is supported, i.e.

If you pass some 1-10 Mbit/sec in a lab, you will have both mostly idle. Both CPU and memory usage in Fortigate depends on the traffic volume passing the Fortigate.

Memory 1024 Mb max: also, if not trying to use Virtual Fortigate for production level traffic, you will unlikely to hit this memory threshold.

1 CPU maximum: for labs/demo and such not much of a concern as you will not likely to hit this limitation.

Note: You can only (legally) download Fortigate VM image from, and to register there you HAVE to be a Fortinet client, i.e. This license, unlike the 15-days one, has almost NO limitations, and you get fully functional virtual Fortigate. Note: There is another evaluation license - for 60 days, that you can only get from Fortinet Account Manager. Unfortunately, it comes with some limitations you should be aware of so not to waste your time trying to debug them. Each Fortigate Virtual Machine (VM) image comes with built-in 15 days evaluation license which starts the moment you spin this image in your virtual environment - VMWare ESXi/WorkStation, KVM, GNS3, EVE-NG.
