What this means in practice

Hardware support has ended. Fortinet is under no obligation to provide support services for the product, 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.
