Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 2015 3

1. License Grant.

This is a license, not a sales agreement, between you and Fortinet. The term "Software", as
used throughout this Agreement, includes all Fortinet and third party firmware and software
provided to you with, or incorporated into, Fortinet appliances and any stand-alone software
provided to you by Fortinet, with the exception of any open source software contained in Fort­inet’s Products which is discussed in detail in section 15 below, and the term “Software”
includes any accompanying documentation, any updates and enhancements of the software
or firmware provided to you by Fortinet, at its option. Fortinet grants to you a non-transferable
(except as provided in section 5 ("Transfer") and section 15 ("Open Source Sof tware") below),
non-exclusive, revocable (in the event of your failure to comply with these terms or in the
event Fortinet is not properly paid for the applicable Product) license to use the Software
solely for your internal business purposes (provided, if a substa ntial portion of your business is
to provide managed service provider services to your end-customers, you may use the Soft­ware embedded in FortiGate and supporting hardware appliances to provide those services,
subject to the other restrictions in this Agreement), in accordance with the terms set forth in
this Agreement and subject to any further restrictions in Fortine t document ation, an d solely on
the Fortinet appliance, or , in the case of blade s, CPUs or dat abases, on the single bla de, CPU
or database on which Fortinet installed the Software or, for stand-alone Software, solely on a
single computer running a validly licensed copy of the operating system fo r which the Sof tware
was designed, or, in the case of blades, CPUs or databases, on a single blade, CPU or data­base. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all licenses of Software to be
installed on blades, CPUs or databases are licensed on a per single blade, solely for one
blade and not for multiple blades that may be installed in a chassis, per single CPU or per sin­gle database basis, as applicable. The Software is "in use" on a ny Fortinet appl iances when it
is loaded into temporary memory (i.e. RAM). You agree that, except for the limited, specific
license rights granted in this section 1, you receive no license rights to the Software.

2. Limitation on Use.

You may not attempt to, and, if you are a corporation, you are responsible to prevent your
employees and contractors from attempting to, (a) modify, translate, reverse engineer, decom­pile, disassemble, create derivative works based on, sub license, or distribute the Software; (b )
rent or lease any rights in the Software in any form to any third party or make the Software
available or accessible to third parties in any other manner; (c) except as provided in section
5, transfer assign or sublicense right to any other person or entity, or (d) remove any propri­etary notice, labels, or marks on the Software, Products, and containers.

3. Proprietary Rights.

All rights, title, interest, and all copyrights to the Software and any copy made thereof by you
and to any Product remain with Fortinet. You acknowledge that no title to the intellectual prop­erty in the Software or other Products is transferred to you and you will not acquire any rights
to the Software or other Products except for the specific license as expressly set forth in sec­tion 1 (“License Grant”) above. You agree to keep confidential all Fortinet

Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 20154

confidential information and only to use such information for the purposes for which Fortinet
disclosed it.

4. Term and Termination.

Except for evaluation and beta licenses or other licenses where the term of the license is lim­ited per the evaluation/beta or other agreement or in the ordering documents, the term of the
license is for the duration of Fortinet's copyright in the Software. Fortinet may terminate this
Agreement, and the licenses and other rights herein, immediately without notice if you breach
or fail to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You agree that, upon
such termination, you will cease using the Software and any Product and either destroy all
copies of the Fortinet documentation or return all materials to Fortinet. The provisions of this
Agreement, other than the license granted in section 1 ("License Grant"), shall survive termi­nation.

5. Transfer.

If you are a Fortinet contracted and authorized reseller or distributor of Products, you may
transfer (not rent or lease unless specifically agreed to in writing by Fortinet) the Software to
one end user on a permanent basis, provided that: (i) you ensure that your customer and the
end user receives a copy of this Agreement, is bound by its terms and conditions, and, by sell­ing the Product or Software, you hereby agree to enforce the terms in this Agreement against
such end user , (ii ) yo u a t all times compl y with all applicable United S tates export control laws
and regulations, and (iii) you agree to refund any fees paid to you by an end user who pur­chased Product(s) from you but does not agree to the terms contained in this Agreement and
therefore wishes to return the Product(s) as provided for in this Agreement. Further, if you are
a non-authorized reseller of Products, you are not authorized to sell Product(s) or Software,
but, regardless, by selling Product(s) or Software, you hereby agree you are bound by the
restrictions and obligations herein and are bound to: (i) ensure that your custome r and the end
user receive a copy of this Agreement and are bound in full by all restrictions and obligations
herein (ii) enforce the restrictions and obligations in this Agreement against such customer
and/or end user, (iii) comply with all applicable United States export control laws and regula­tions and all other applicable laws, and (iv) refund any fees paid to you by a customer and/or
end user who purchased Product(s) from you but does not agree to the restrictions and obliga­tions contained in this Agreement and therefore wishes to return the Product(s) as provided
for in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, distributors, resellers and
other Fortinet partners (a) are not agents of Fortinet and (b) are n ot authorized to bind Fortin et
in any way.

6. Limited Warranty.

Fortinet provides this limited warranty for its product only to the single end-user person or
entity that originally purchased the Product from Fortinet or its authorized reseller or distributor
and paid for such Product. The warranty is only valid for Products which are properly regis­tered on Fortinet’s Support Website, https://support.fortinet.com, or such other website as pro-
vided by Fortinet, or for which the warranty otherwise

Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 2015 5

starts according to Fortinet’s policies. The warranty periods discussed below will start accord­ing to Fortinet’s policies posted at http://www.fortinet.com/aboutus/legal.html or such other
website as provided by Fortinet. It is the Fortinet distributor’s and reseller’s responsibility to
make clear to the end user the date the product was originally shipped from Fortinet, and it is
the end user’s responsibility to understand the original ship date from the party from which the
end user purchased the product. All warranty claims must be submitted in writing to Fortinet
before the expiration of the warranty term or such claims are waived in full. Fortinet provides
no warranty for any beta, donation or evaluation Products, for any spare parts not purchased
directly from Fortinet by the end-user, for any accessories, or for any stand-alone software.
Fortinet warrants that the hardware portion of the Pro ducts, includ ing sp are part s unless noted
otherwise ("Hardware") will be free from material defects in workmanship as compared to the
functional specifications for the period set forth as follows and applicable to the Product type
("Hardware Warranty Period"): a three hundred sixty-five (365) day limited warranty for the
Hardware excluding spare parts, power supplies, and accessories (provided, solely with
respect to FortiAP and Meru AP indoor Wi-Fi access point Hardware appliance products and
FortiSwitch Hardware appliance products other than the FortiSwitch-5000 series (for both
excluding spare parts, power supplies, and accessories), the warranty herein shall last from
the start of the warranty period as discussed above until five (5) years following the product
announced end-of-life date), and, for spare parts, power supplies, and accessories, solely a
ninety (90) days limited warranty. Fortinet's sole obligation shall be to repair or offer replace­ment Hardware for the defective Hardware at no charge to the original owner. This obligation
is exclusive of transport fees, labor, de-installation, installation, reconfiguration, or return ship­ment and handling fees and costs, and Fortinet shall have no obligation related thereto. Such
repair or replacement will be rendered by Fortinet at an authorized Fortinet service facility as
determined by Fortinet. The replacement Hardware need not be new or of an identical make,
model, or part; Fortinet may, in its discretion, replace the defective Hardware (or any part
thereof) with any reconditioned Product that Fortinet reasonably determines is substantially
equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective H ardware. The Hardware War­ranty Period for the repaired or replacement Hardware shall be for the greater of the remai ning
Hardware Warranty Period or ninety days from the delivery of the repaired or replacement
Hardware. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a mate rial defect is incap able
of correction or that it is not practical to repair or repl ace defective Hardwa re, the price pai d by
the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by Fortinet upon return to
Fortinet of the defective Hardware. All Hardware (or part thereof) that is replaced by Fortinet,
or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of Fortinet upon
replacement or refund. Fortinet warrants that the software as initially shipped with the Hard­ware Products will substantially conform to Fortinet's then current functional specifications for
the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation for a period of ninety (90) days
("Software Warranty Period"), if the Software is properly installed on approved Hardware and
operated as contemplated in its documentation. Fortinet's sole obligation shall be to repair or
offer replacement Software for the non-conforming Software with software that substantially
conforms to Fortinet's functional specifications. This obligation is exclusive of transport fees,
labor, de-installation, installation, reconfiguration, or return shipment and handling fees and
costs, and Fortinet shall have no obligation related thereto. Except as otherwise agreed by

Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 20156

Fortinet in writing, the warranty replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee,
and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by Fortinet for the Software.
The Software Warranty Period shall extend for an additional ninety (90) days after any war­ranty replacement software is delivered. If Forti net determines in it s reasonable discretion th at
a material non-conformance is incapable of correction or that it is not practical to repair or
replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-con­forming Software will be refunded by Fo rtinet; provided that the non -conforming Sof tware (and
all copies thereof) is first returned to Fortinet. The license granted respecting any Sof tw are fo r
which a refund is given automatically terminates immediately upon refund. For purpose of the
above hardware and software warranties, the term “functional specifications” means solely
those specifications authorized and published by Fortinet that expressly state in such specifi­cations that they are the functional specifications referred to in this section 6 of this Agree­ment, and, in the event no such specifications are provided to you with the Software or
Hardware, there shall be no warranty on such Software.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed b y the copy­right holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The
"Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or trans­lated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
"modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution
and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of run­ning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its con­tents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running
the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the

Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive
it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publi sh on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warran ty; keep int act all the notices that refer to
this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipient s of the Program
a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of
transferring a copy , a nd you may at your option of fer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. Y ou may modify your copy or copie s of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work
based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the
files and the date of any change.

b) Y ou must cause any work that you distribute or publi sh, that in whole or in part cont ains or is
derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all
third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause
it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty
(or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program
under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if

Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 2015 11

the Program itself is interactive but does not norma lly print such an anno uncement, your work
based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to
the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Pro­gram, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves,
then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work
based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and e very
part regardless of who wrote it.. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or con­test your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to con­trol the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere
aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work
based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the
other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, un der Se ction 2) in object
code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do
one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must
be distributed under the terms of Sections1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a
charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distribu ted under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding
source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Sub­section b above.)

Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it
contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the script s used to control compila­tion and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code dis­tributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the
executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of
executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then
offering equivalent access to copy the source code from th e same pla ce count s as distribu tion
of the source code, even though third parties are n ot compel led to copy th e source along with
the object code.

Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 201512

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly pro­vided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However , par­ties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. H owever, nothing
else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or dis­tributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms an d condition s for copying, distributing or modifying the
Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Pro­gram subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on
the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing com­pliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any
other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simult a­neously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, th en as a con­sequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a paten t license would not
permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or
indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circum­stance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended
to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe a ny p atents or other property right
claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this se ction has the sole purpo se of protecting
the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license
practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software dis­tributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system
and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a conse quence of the
rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by pat­ents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Progra m under

Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 2015 13

this License may add an explicit geogra phical dist rib ution li mit atio n excluding tho se countrie s,
so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case,
this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present ver­sion, but may differ in det ail to address new probl ems or concerns. Each ve rsion is given a dis­tinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which
applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the
Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever
published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution
conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copy­righted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we some­times make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the
free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WAR­RANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANT ABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PUR­POSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PRO­GRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRIT­ING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/
OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUD­ING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE
OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PRO­GRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR
OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each
licensee is addressed as "you".

A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conve­niently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form
executables.

The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed
under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
For a library , complete source code means all the source code for all module s it contain s, plus
any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and instal­lation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License;
they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and
output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true
depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each
copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices
that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this
License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work
based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 2015 15

a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the

files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under

the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of dat a to be suppli ed by an

application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application
does not supply such function or table, the facilit y still operates, and performs whatever p art of
its purpose remains meaningful.

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole . If identifiable se ctions of that work
are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate
works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those secti ons when you
distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a
whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms
of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to
each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to cla im
rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addi­tion, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a
work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the
other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this
License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this
License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2 instead of to
this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License
has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other
change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU
General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that
copy . This option is useful when you wish to copy p art of the code of the Library into a program
that is not a library.

4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in
object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you
accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for soft­ware interchange.

Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 201516

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place , then
offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the require­ment to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the
source along with the object code.

5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work
with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".
Such a work, in isolation, is not a deri vative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the
scope of this License.

However, linking a "work that uses the L ibrary" with the Lib rary creates an execut able that i s a
derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that
uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms
for distribution of such ex ecutables.

When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a heade r file th at is p art of the Library,
the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source
code is not.

Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if
the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors,
and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the
object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables
containing this object code plus portions of the Library w ill still fall unde r Section 6.) Otherwise,
if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under
the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the
Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute
that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work
for your own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You must give
prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library
and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the
Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also,
you must do one of these things:

a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for
the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed
under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with
the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source
code, so that the user can modify the Library and th en relink to produce a modified exe cutable
containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of

Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 2015 17

definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use
the modified definitions.)

b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism
is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer
system, rather than copying library functions into the executabl e, and (2) will operate properly
with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.

c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user
the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of per­forming this distribution.

d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer
equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.

e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these ma teri als or tha t you have alread y
sent this user a copy. For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library"
must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it.
However, as a special e xception, the materials to be distributed need not incl ude anything that
is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler,
kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that compo­nent itself accompanies the executable. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the
license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accomp an y th e o perating
system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an
executable that you distribute.

7. You may place library facilities that are a work based o n the Library side-by-side in a single
library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a
combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and
of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library,
uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
Sections above.

b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on
the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same
work.

8. Y ou may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 201518

9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. H owever, nothing
else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or dis­tributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this

License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Library or works based on it.

10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or mod­ify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restric­tions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any
other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simult a­neously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, th en as a con­sequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not
permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indi­rectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circum­stance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended
to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe a ny p atents or other property right
claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this se ction has the sole purpo se of protecting
the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license
practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software dis­tributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system
and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear
what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by pat­ents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under
this License may add an explicit geogra phical di stribution limitation excluding those countries,
so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case,
this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser
General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the
present version, but may differ in detail to address n ew problems or concerns. Each version is

Fortinet, Inc. - EULA v14 - September 2015 19

given a distinguishing version number . If the Library specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and con­ditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Founda­tion. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version
ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution
conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundati on, write to the Free Sof tware Foun dation;
we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of pre­serving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and
reuse of software generally.

15. The warranty disclaimer contained in Sections 11 and 12 of the preceding GPL License is
incorporated herein.

Provides pre-pack PHY data rate up to 1.3 Gbps per radio at IEEE Std 802.11ac with

MCS9/QAM-256 mode.

anten-

Two dual-band-selectable radios, in either

2.4 GHz or 5.x GHz, capable of operating
in IEEE 802.11b/g/a/n and IEEE 802.11ac
DRAFT standards, with optional EXTER-
NAL antennas.

IEEE Std 802.11ac in AP832

The AP832 series is the first of Fortinet access point family capable of operating in the IEEE
Std 802.11ac mode, which is capable for theoretical throughput rates up to 1.3 Gbp s per radio.

IEEE Std 802.11ac is applied only on the 5 GHz band, and its higher throughput levels require
the use of 80 MHz wide channels.

When a radio on AP832 is configured for IEEE Std 802.11ac operation, it is automatically set
to operate on the 5 GHz band. By default, the radio 1 is set to operate on the 2.4 GHz band
(Channel 6, 20 MHz channel width) to support IEEE S t d 802.11b/g/n clients and radio 2 is con­figured for IEEE Std 802.11ac on 5 GHz (Primary Channel 36 with 80 MHz channel width).

Features2

With backward compatibility, AP832’s Radio 2 supports either IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11a/
n clients.

Installation Location

All AP832 interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including
the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connection. Ceiling mount is recommended
but wall mount is also supported. In addition, the AP832 should be mounted in a location that
meets the following conditions:

• Unobstructed access to stations - relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP

serves. Select a location with minimal physical obstructions between the AP and the wire-

less stations. In an office with cubicles, mounting the APs below a hanging ceiling or the

wall near the ceiling provides the least obstructed communications path. On a wall, orient

the AP832 horizontally so that you can read the Fortinet logo without tilting your head at 90

degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance.

• Access to power - access to wall outlet or to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to

the network switch servicing the controller.

• Capacity Planning - AP832 is capable of associating up to 128 clients per radio or 256 cli-

ents per system. For optimum performance, Fortinet recommends planning up to 50 clients

per radio for a mixed WLAN voice, video, and data. Users can, however, achieve higher cli-

ent capacity in a data traffic only environment. Refer to the Deployment Guides on the sup-

port site for more information.

• Install APs toward the center of the building.

• Place APs about 80 feet apart.

• Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or electric ser-

vice panels.

• If you install an AP832 on a pole, its coverage will be a half spherical shape. Mounting two

AP832’s (back to back) on a poll does not provide full coverage (spherical shape). This

could potentially interfere with each other resulting in poor coverage.

With grant of additional regulatory approvals and Permit-but-Ask by US Federal Communication Com­mission, users can configure two radios in AP832 on the same band (i.e., both radios are on the 2.4
GHz but in the different or same channels, or both radios are on the 5.x GHz but in the different or
same channels). However, user shall expect performance deterioration due to RF collision. collocation,
or co-channel interference (CCI). It is important that the users reduce AP832 transmit power, for each
radio, by at-least 3 dBm for its default setting. It is also recommended to apply such use case in
AP832e with pigtail attached external antennas only.

B Additional Notes

Maximum EIRP

The transmit EIRP is the sum of the conductive transmit power, IEEE Std 802.11n multiple
stream effect, and the antenna gain. By default, Fortinet AP832 EIR P is set lower than the reg­ulatory limit with the default antenna.

Dual Concurrent Same Band Operation

With grant of additional regulatory approval and Permit-but-Ask, users may configure two
radios in AP832 on the same band (i.e., both radios are on the 2.4 GHz but in the different or
same channels, and both radios are on the 5.x GHz but in the different or same channels).

However, user shall e xpect performance deterio ration due to RF coll ision and collocation inte r­ference. It is important that users adopt external antennas, with extended coaxial pigtail
cables, with AP832e in such use case. User shall place antennas far apart to reduce interfer­ence. Meanwhile, user shall also reduce AP832e transmit power, for each radio, by at-least 3
dBm from its default setting.
