Can someone provide me the latest firmware for Fortigate 80C as i am not able to download from support site since the warranty is over? Thank you so much.

Wait, Fortigate doesn’t let you download firmware updates on out of warranty devices? I find the hard to believe… but if its true, that’s a shitty practice, right up there with other companies doing evil things.

Mybe someone from Fortigate can clarify this… Or is it that your device is EOL’d and there are no more updates… since its out of warranty?

Thats not exactly uncommon.

I know the following companies have the same practice:

Cisco
HP
Palo Alto
Citrix (netscaler etc.)

Im sure there are many many others.

Support and Services, is big business, and a way to finance development of new updates, and therefor companies like to charge for it.

My guess is that its more the rule than not, that updates are an payable option.

also need latest firmware for Fortigate 80C, please help, thanks a lot.
