In summary, the вЂњLicense StatusвЂќ field can be in state вЂњPendingвЂќ or вЂњValidвЂќ if the licensing process is going fine, and вЂњWarningвЂќ or вЂњInvalidвЂќ if something wrong is detected. If the network connection is restored, the re-validation succeeds and the license status comes back to вЂњValidвЂќ, otherwise the license status becomes вЂњInvalidвЂќ after the grace period of 30 days elapses and the FGT-VM ceases functioning. If not, for example because of a network connection issue, the license status changes to вЂњWarningвЂќ. If the license re-validation is successful, the license status stays вЂњValidвЂќ. Periodically, on an hourly basis, the FGT-VM needs to re-validate its license against FortiGuard or FortiManager. This can be verified using the вЂњget system statusвЂќ command: Once validated, the FGT-VM license status changes to вЂњValidвЂќ (4). Once installed, the permanent license needs to be validated by FortiGuard or by FortiManager in case the FGT-VM is installed in a closed environment without Internet access.Дuring that time, the license status is usually вЂњPendingвЂќ.
