The alternative is having Fortimanager to do so. Internet access: Fortigate VM has to have Internet access to activate the license. See the reference at the bottom for details. The rest of limitations: additional limitations (CPU/Memory/etc.) that were present in 15 days license, are still enforced as well. One license per one FortiCloud account: this means that to have multiple evaluation licenses for multiple Fortigates, we need to create multiple FortiCloud accounts, nuisance but doable. If you just need it for your companies lab, you can get a VM01V for pretty cheap and it's perpetual. And on top of it, it also counts Loopback interfaces as well. Your Fortinet rep can get you an eval license, but it will only be good for 30-60 days and require you to ask for new ones every time they expire. This counts also interfaces that are in state disabled/ down. Number of interfaces: maximum 3, was unlimited. Currently (FortiOS 7.2.1), though, there is no actual enforcement of this limit - I configured BGP and few static routes, 6 all in all, and it worked without any issue. This means severe limiting of dynamic protocols labs like OSPF/BGP. Number of routes: the limit is also 3, while was unlimited before. Show detailed info on VM Fortigate license status: allowed CPUs and memory, date of license activation, license expiration date. Security Rules: the limit is 3, instead of 5.
