Licensing Unlike hardware FortiGates, the VM requires a license file (.lic) obtained from Fortinet. Without a license, the VM runs in trial mode (limited throughput, features, and 15-day expiration). The “new” build does not change this. 2. QCOW2 compression issues Some users attempt to compress the QCOW2 to save space. FortiGate actively writes logs and temp files; compressed images will fail. Use qcow2 with lazy_refcounts=off for best performance. 3. KVM version compatibility Build 2731 may require a certain libvirt or qemu-kvm version.

So your search keyword likely lacks hyphens and contains a typo ( v747m instead of v747-M ). Try searching for: FGT_VM64_KVM-v7.4.7-build2731-FORTINET.out.kvm.qcow2 Once you have the legitimate qcow2 file (and optionally its Checksum file), follow this process: 1. Verify integrity sha256sum -c FGT_VM64_KVM-v7.4.7-build2731-FORTINET.out.kvm.qcow2.sha256 2. Prepare the image (optional resizing) qemu-img info FGT_VM64_KVM-v7.4.7-build2731-FORTINET.out.kvm.qcow2 qemu-img resize FGT_VM64_KVM-v7.4.7-build2731-FORTINET.out.kvm.qcow2 +20G 3. Create a VM with virt-install virt-install \ --name fortigate-new \ --vcpus 2 \ --memory 4096 \ --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/fgt747.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=virtio \ --network bridge=br0,model=virtio \ --network bridge=br0,model=virtio \ --graphics vnc \ --console pty,target_type=serial \ --import 4. Initial configuration Access via serial console or SSH (after assigning IP via DHCP on port1): The “new” build does not change this
