FML-VM02 Overview
FortiMail VM02 identity and deployment
FML-VM02 is the Fortinet FortiMail-VM email-security software license for a 2-vCPU virtual appliance. Its exact ordering row lists VMware ESX/ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer and KVM. It runs on customer-provided virtualization resources; this order does not provide a physical FortiGate firewall, server, disk or network card.
The processor tier matters when comparing VM01, VM02 and VM04: the published tiers are 1, 2 and 4 virtual CPU cores respectively. For VM02, allocate both CPUs during deployment rather than expecting the license file to add host resources automatically.
Plan domains, mailboxes and virtual resources separately
Fortinet ordering guide R21 lists VM02 with 70 protected email domains and 400 server-mode mailboxes. These are different sizing measures. A server-mode mailbox limit should not be presented as the number of mailboxes purchased under a hosted FortiMail Cloud subscription.
The FortiMail 7.6.3 installation guide gives the VM02 resource limits as 1 to 4 virtual NICs, 1 to 8 GB of virtual memory and 50 GB to 2 TB of virtual storage. The same guide documents a smaller-disk configuration separately. Treat these as version-specific deployment limits, not included physical components or a message-throughput guarantee. Check peak mail flow, message size, deployment mode and the required security services when selecting the VM tier.
Base VM license, subscriptions and activation
FML-VM02 is an exact base VM ordering identity. Fortinet also lists VM02 S-series subscriptions, FortiCare/FortiGuard VM bundle contracts and separate add-on services. Do not assume that a base VM quote includes a particular support term, Enterprise ATP bundle, cloud email API connector, advanced administration entitlement or continuity service. Confirm the contract SKU, coverage and activation dates on the proposed order.
In the 7.6.3 licensing workflow, Fortinet sends the registration number to the email address on the order. Register the product in Fortinet Support, download the .lic file and install it on the VM. The appliance needs Internet connectivity to Fortinet servers for license validation. Account registration, host compatibility and service entitlement checks should be completed before scheduling a production cutover.
Purchasing FML-VM02
Provide the exact SKU, virtualization platform, intended FortiMail release, mail deployment mode and required FortiCare/FortiGuard coverage when requesting a quote. Confirm current ordering eligibility, software support and delivery arrangements for the exact entitlement. A software license does not have a factory-sealed hardware condition; the illustration is a Fortinet brand reference, not a photograph of delivered equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Is FML-VM02 a FortiGate 3000F firewall?
No. It identifies a 2-vCPU FortiMail virtual email-security appliance license. It belongs with email-security virtual platforms.
Does the 400-mailbox figure describe a hosted-cloud purchase?
No. It is the published VM02 server-mode mailbox limit. Hosted FortiMail Cloud licensing has separate mailbox-based ordering lines.
Are support and optional features automatically included?
Check the quoted contract and bundle. Fortinet lists VM security-service contracts and add-ons separately from the FML-VM02 base order.
What is needed for activation?
The order registration number, a Fortinet Support account, the downloaded license file and Internet access for validation. Follow the installation guide for the chosen software release.

| Virtualization platforms | VMware ESX/ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer and KVM are named in the exact FML-VM02 ordering row. Validate the target release and host version before deployment. |
| Virtual network interfaces | 1 minimum / 4 maximum virtual NICs in the FortiMail 7.6.3 VM installation guide. These are virtual interfaces, not physical appliance ports. |
| Virtual memory | 1 GB minimum / 8 GB maximum for VM02 in the 7.6.3 resource table; provision host memory for the intended workload. |
| Virtual storage | 50 GB minimum / 2 TB maximum in the 7.6.3 resource table. The guide separately describes smaller-disk configurations; storage is allocated on the customer virtualization platform. |
| Protected email domains | 70 protected domains in the VM02 column of the FortiMail ordering guide R21. This planning measure is distinct from server-mode mailboxes. |
| Server-mode mailboxes | 400 server-mode mailboxes in the VM02 column of ordering guide R21. This is not a FortiMail Cloud per-mailbox subscription quantity. |

| Contract and add-on scope | The base FML-VM02 order must be distinguished from VM02 S-series subscription SKUs and FortiCare/FortiGuard contracts. Cloud email API, advanced administration and continuity options require their own verified entitlement scope. |
