Before using this chapter, your FortiGate-5000 series or compatible ATCA chassis
should be mounted and connected to your power system. In addition, your
FortiGate-5001A boards should be inserted into the chassis and additional

Upgrading to High Encryption
This FortiGate-5001A board has a factory installed low encryption feature set.
You can purchase a high encryption upgrade within 90 days of shipment from
Fortinet. Fortinet Technical Support can provide a high encryption license key
once you have provided suitable documentation that the necessary export
licenses have been granted for your region, and our legal department has
authorized the use of high encryption.
When you receive the high encryption license key, in the CLI, enter the command
execute crypto-license <high-enc-key>
.
Fortinet does not guarantee that the customer will receive a export license upon
purchase of the product or license key.
