On my WatchGuard, we just got an update because of some patches in the OpenVPN part. ![]() In general it was already explained, why you wouldn't want to run an unsupported/outdated firewall. Probably you should contact one or two Fortinet resellers and ask them about their promos and discounts they offer to existing customers to stay with them. In addition they have from time to time special promotions, where you pay for a 3-year renewal and they give you the new appliance for free. WatchGuard offers TradeIn discounts, as well as TradeUP (when replacing WatchGuard with WatchGuard). For sure competitors have such offerings.Į.g. I don't know if Fortinet has some promotions when you trade appliances for newer ones and they would give you a nice discount. In this case, when it's not possible to renew the subscription for even one year, it will be time to replace the appliance. I missed the EoL/EoS part - thought, it was just about a subscription expiration.
