1. Current Model and Capacity
CPU/memory utilization, session counts, internet capacity and enabled security services are key inputs for deciding whether the current appliance remains suitable.

FortiGate License Renewal Checklist: What to Review Before Renewal
Automatically renewing the same license scope is not always the best option. Appliance capacity, usage, security services and support lifecycle should be reviewed together.
2. Subscription Scope
Review which security services are actually used, such as IPS, web filtering and application control. Unnecessary or missing coverage can be clarified before quotation.
3. Support and Lifecycle
Manufacturer support status and intended service life should be considered. If hardware replacement is approaching, a license-only renewal may not be the most suitable technical or commercial option.
4. Renew or Replace?
The decision should consider performance, security services, connectivity, growth and total cost of ownership.
