The qcow2 format utilizes a Copy-On-Write (COW) strategy. When the VM attempts to write data to the disk, the hypervisor does not write directly to the original block. Instead, it allocates a new block in the image file, writes the data there, and updates the mapping table.

A2: The evaluation license for FortiGate-VM v6.2.2 has strict limits: 1 CPU and 2 GB of RAM maximum . If you allocated more than 1 vCPU or more than 2 GB of RAM to the VM, you will see a license violation. You must shut down the VM and reconfigure its hardware resources to within these limits for the evaluation license to work.
