Keep virtual security aligned with operational needs using a 1-year FortiGate Cloud Advanced subscription for FortiGate-VM. This license is built for environments that want Fortinet virtual firewall coverage with cloud-delivered security operations and a defined annual renewal cycle. For infrastructure and procurement teams, the shorter term offers flexibility. It supports pilot deployments, phased rollouts, and environments where licensing needs may change with application growth, migration schedules, or budget timing. Rather than committing to a longer term up front, teams can validate the deployment model and renew on a schedule that matches their planning horizon. Because this is a subscription license, it fits virtualized security architectures without adding hardware complexity. It is a practical choice for organizations that already run FortiGate-VM and want to maintain policy consistency, centralized oversight, and cloud-based security services across their virtual estate.
