Looking for the bare software appliance? FortiOS for FortiGate-VM is downloaded free from Fortinet; the subscription above is the licence that activates and protects it. We do not resell on-demand (PAYG) marketplace listings — everything here is BYOL you own and control.

HOW FORTIGATE-VM LICENSING WORKS

One subscription that sizes and protects your virtual firewall

FortiGate-VM uses a bring-your-own-license (BYOL) model. You deploy the FortiGate virtual machine yourself on your cloud or hypervisor, then apply an annual subscription license. That one license sets the vCPU size, includes a FortiGuard protection bundle, and includes FortiCare Premium support. There is no separate hardware to buy and no per-appliance shipping.

1 · Pick a size

Choose the vCPU level (VM01 to VMUL) that matches your throughput, VDOMs and Security Fabric needs. You can move the licence between platforms as you scale.

2 · Pick a bundle & term

Select ATP, UTP or the Enterprise bundle, for 1, 3 or 5 years. The bundle decides which FortiGuard services are switched on.

3 · Deploy & activate

Download FortiOS for your platform, deploy the VM, and apply the licence key we deliver electronically, usually the same business day, worldwide.

FortiGate-VM vs a hardware FortiGate. Same FortiOS, same FortiGuard services and same single-pane management. The VM runs on infrastructure you provide (cloud or hypervisor) and is licensed by vCPU on a subscription, while a hardware FortiGate is a fixed appliance sized by its model. Use the VM to secure cloud and virtualized workloads; use hardware at the physical edge.

CHOOSE A SIZE

FortiGate-VM sizes compared (by vCPU)

Every FortiGate-VM runs the same FortiOS; the vCPU size sets capacity. Sizes scale across two tiers: VM01 to VM04 support up to 10,000 firewall policies, while VM08 and above jump to 200,000 policies and up to 500 VDOMs. Storage is 32 GB to 2 TB on every size. Pick by throughput, number of VDOMs and how many FortiSwitch and FortiAP units you will manage.

Model	Firewall policies	Max VDOMs	Max FortiSwitch	Max FortiAPs	Managed endpoints
FortiGate-VM01-S 1 vCPU · Lab, single app or small branch segment	10,000	10	8	32 / 64	2,000
FortiGate-VM02-S 2 vCPU · Small-business cloud edge or branch	10,000	25	24	512 / 1,024	2,000
FortiGate-VM04-S 4 vCPU · Mid-size cloud / VPC perimeter	10,000	50	64	512 / 1,024	8,000
FortiGate-VM08-S 8 vCPU · Busy cloud edge with a Security Fabric	200,000	500	300	1,024 / 4,096	20,000
FortiGate-VM16-S 16 vCPU · High-throughput data-center firewall	200,000	500	300	1,024 / 4,096	20,000
FortiGate-VM32-S 32 vCPU · Large multi-tenant / service provider	200,000	500	300	1,024 / 4,096	20,000
FortiGate-VMUL-S Unlimited vCPU · Maximum scale, bound only by the instance	200,000	500	300	1,024 / 4,096	20,000

Values are platform maximums from the Fortinet datasheet and are ‘up to’, depending on the cloud or hypervisor instance you deploy on. Not sure which size fits? Tell us your throughput and we will size it.

CHOOSE A BUNDLE

ATP, UTP or Enterprise protection

Each FortiGate-VM subscription includes one FortiGuard bundle plus FortiCare Premium support. The three bundles build on each other, so pick by the security services you need.

ATP

Advanced Threat Protection

Core threat protection: FortiGuard IPS, antivirus and advanced malware protection, FortiGate Cloud sandbox and application control.

Best for cost-conscious edge protection.

UTP Most popular

Unified Threat Protection

Adds web, URL, DNS and video filtering, anti-spam and malicious-certificate protection on top of ATP.

The popular all-round choice for most deployments.

Enterprise

Enterprise Bundle

The full suite: adds DLP, attack-surface security, IoT detection and vulnerability correlation and Security Rating on top of UTP.

Best for compliance and full data & SaaS posture.

WHERE IT RUNS

Deploy on any cloud or hypervisor

FortiGate-VM runs across public clouds and private virtualization, with vSPU acceleration that lets the virtual firewall hit high throughput instead of bottlenecking your network. Deploy by hand or as code with Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation or the REST API.

Public clouds

Amazon AWS (incl. GovCloud & China), Microsoft Azure & AzureStack, Google Cloud (GCP), Oracle OCI, Alibaba Cloud, IBM Cloud, VMware Cloud on AWS.

Private hypervisors

VMware ESXi 6.7 / 7.0 / 8.0 & NSX-T, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM (RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, SUSE), Citrix / open-source Xen, Nutanix AHV, Red Hat OpenShift.

Infrastructure as code

Terraform modules, AWS CloudFormation templates, Ansible playbooks and REST API for automated, repeatable, auto-scaling deployments.

vSPU performance

Virtual SPU offload and Intel QuickAssist support deliver multiple-times higher firewall and IPsec VPN throughput than a standard virtual firewall.

USE CASES

FAQ

FortiGate-VM, common questions

What is FortiGate-VM?

FortiGate-VM is Fortinet’s next-generation firewall delivered as a software virtual machine. It runs the same FortiOS as the hardware FortiGate appliances and supports the same security and networking services, but you deploy it on your own cloud or hypervisor instead of buying a physical box.

How is FortiGate-VM licensed?

It uses an annual subscription (bring-your-own-license). One licence sets the vCPU size (VM01 to VMUL), includes a FortiGuard protection bundle (ATP, UTP or Enterprise) and includes FortiCare Premium support. You choose a 1, 3 or 5-year term.

Which bundle should I choose: ATP, UTP or Enterprise?

ATP covers core threat protection (IPS, antivirus, sandbox). UTP adds web, DNS and video filtering plus anti-spam, and is the popular all-round choice. Enterprise adds DLP, attack-surface security, IoT detection and Security Rating for full data and compliance posture. See the comparison in the Choose a bundle section above.

Which vCPU size do I need?

Pick by throughput, number of VDOMs and how many FortiSwitch and FortiAP units you will manage. VM01 to VM04 suit branches and mid-size cloud edges (up to 10,000 policies); VM08 and above are for high-throughput and multi-tenant deployments (up to 200,000 policies and 500 VDOMs). Tell us your numbers and we will size it.

Where can I deploy FortiGate-VM?

On all major public clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle OCI, Alibaba, IBM) and most hypervisors (VMware ESXi and NSX-T, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, Citrix/Xen, Nutanix AHV, Red Hat OpenShift). It also supports infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Ansible.

Do I need to buy any hardware?

No. FortiGate-VM runs on infrastructure you already have or provision in the cloud. You download FortiOS free from Fortinet and apply the subscription licence you buy here to activate and protect it.

How fast is delivery?

FortiGate-VM licences are delivered electronically, worldwide, usually the same business day. There is nothing to ship.

Not sure which size or bundle?

Tell us your platform, throughput and use case — we will size FortiGate-VM and quote it, usually the same day.
