What this means in practice

Hardware support has ended, and Fortinet lists FortiOS 7.2 as the final supported branch for this model. There is no firmware path forward and cover cannot be reinstated.

Lifecycle dates and TradeUp are separate. TradeUp reflects the current program position for the model; final eligibility, discount and service transfer are confirmed against the device serial, entitlement and replacement path.
