What this means in practice

Supported until 31 March 2027. The service extension date has passed, so an existing contract can no longer be extended.

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.

Migration detail:
using SSL VPN?

On current FortiOS releases, SSL VPN tunnel mode has been replaced by IPsec VPN, and entry-level models including the 50G, 70G and 90G also have restrictions on agentless web-mode VPN. Fortinet recommends IPsec dial-up VPN for remote access.

We check the existing VPN configuration before the replacement is specified.
