Activate Eval license on Fortigate Firewall | Fortinet FGT

In this videos, we will learn how to activate the 15 days Eval license using the forticloud. Also you will how to manage the assets in the Fortinet Cloud portal.
Starting with FortiOS 7.2.1, Fortinet removed built-in 15 days free evaluation license from the Fortigate VM images. It was replaced with the permanent evaluation license, still free. The steps to get it have changed - you now have to create a free Forticare/FortiCloud account, and use it inside the Fortigate GUI to activate this evaluation license. The license will be generated and added to your Forticloud account automatically.

Unfortunately, there are new limitations as well:
Security Rules: the limit is 3, instead of 5.
Number of routes: the limit is also 3, while was unlimited before. This means severe limiting of dynamic protocols labs like OSPF/BGP. Currently (FortiOS 7.2.1) , though, there is no actual enforcement of this limit - I configured BGP and few static routes, 6 all in all, and it worked without any issue.
Number of interfaces: maximum 3, was unlimited. This counts also interfaces that are in state disabled/down. And on top of it, it also counts Loopback interfaces as well.
One license per one FortiCloud account: this means that to have multiple evaluation licenses for multiple Fortigates, we need to create multiple FortiCloud accounts, nuisance but doable. The accounts are still free of charge.
The rest of limitations: additional limitations (CPU/Memory/etc.) that were present in 15 days license, are still enforced as well. See the reference at the bottom for details.
Internet access: Fortigate VM has to have Internet access to activate the license. The alternative is having Fortimanager to do so.
Now, to the visual guide of how to issue this free evaluation license for your virtual Fortigate.
BTW: The only addition (and not subtraction) in this new evaluation licensing is that we can now access management web GUI of the Fortigate via regular https not only http as before.
