From the official modern.ie instructions. It is also highly recommended that you implement a rollback strategy for any virtual machines that you download. This could be as simple as holding onto the original archive that you downloaded, or you could take advantage of your virtualization platform’s snapshotting capability so that you can start over with a fresh VM at any time and not have to worry about the guest operating system running out of trial time. Source (pdf): I would think that means that snapshots in VirtualBox would roll back the license too. Unless VB snapshots don't work like I think they do. Also, the setup I've been using recently (and now the ievms default as of last night) is IE6, 7 and 8 on XP, with IE 9 and 10 on Win7. That means you've only got to keep around 2 of the MS images - IE6 - WinXP and IE9 - Win7 - and the Win7 image is good for 540 days if you 'rearm' after each 90 day period.
Since the Win7 image is rearmable for so long, it makes reasonable sense to remove that image after installation as well, leaving you with only a single ~700mb image to keep track of for the XP vms. They also say that all of the VMs are good for 90 days, will activate successfully (except XP), can be rearmed 3 times each, and that XP has a hard expiration 90 days after upload to modern.IE. Almost none of that is true in practice (it's a new project so I generally give them a pass on this fact). From my research, the virtual machines begin their expiration countdown the moment they're first booted.
Oct 05, 2013 SSL-VPN on Fortigate-VM I' m trying to test the SSL-VPN feature on a Fortigate-VM in trial mode (so no license yet). Should this work? I think I' ve configured everything correctly, but I don' t get a login-page when I go to the url of the fortigate-vm. In IE, I get nothing. In firefox, I get an error: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap. FortiGate-VM is a full-featured FortiGate packaged as a virtual appliance. FortiGate-VM virtual appliance is ideal for monitoring and enforcing virtual traffic on leading virtualization, cloud, and SDN platforms including VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, Xen, KVM, and AWS.
Now (as of last night) all ievms virtual machines are booted immediately upon install to bring them into a consistent state (add guest additions for those that lack it, activate those that need it, install alternative IE versions, enable guest control). The clean snapshot is taken after that initialization, meaning you can't go back to a state in which the countdown hasn't started without reinstalling the image. This is a tradeoff, but the goal of ievms is to also make the images more useful in addition to facilitating installation.
The goal of iectrl is to make your post-ievms-install life easier by handling the nitty-gritty details of reinstallation, etc. Can you clarify two things for me? I think I'm following the rest. • If I install 8, 9, 10 ( curl -s env IEVMS_VERSIONS='8 9 10' bash) using the script as of last night, I'm going to get 3 VMS -- XP (IE 8), Win7 (IE 9), Winy (IE 10). After I install those, what files do I need to keep in order to be able to rearm my Win7 VMs and what files can I delete? Which commands are those in iectrl • You're saying I am able to rearm XP VMs too? You're correct, you'll get 1 XP VM and 2 Win7 VMs.
6.Click Advanced options. 7.Click Startup Settings. Usb vcom driver for mtk 8127. 9.On the Startup Settings screen press 7 or F7 to disable driver signature enforcement. 5.Click Troubleshoot. 8.Click on Restart.
The Win7 VMs can be rearmed without any supporting installation files present. You could nuke the whole folder except your vmdk files and keep the Win7 VMs going for over a year with rearms alone. In iectrl, you can use the shrink command to remove installation files.
The XP VM is not rearmable. But I still think it's the best option for 6, 7, 8 because you reuse the smallest of the images for 3 individual VMs, and the XP VM requires far, far fewer system resources than the others. The trade off is that you have to reinstall ( iectrl reinstall WinXP) every 30 days. Thanks again!! What format are the names for iectrl shrink?

In addition to that, during the evaluation period (with the evaluation license), only weak or low encryption (des) ciphers are able to be used. Ultimately, if you have a long proving period, my recommendation is your best bet it to reach out to your sales person (or trusted reseller/Fortinet partner) and get a longer term evaluation license. If you need to look at another vendor, that is understandable, but I recommend to you to weigh out all of your options when making that consideration (price, feature support, ease of use, etc.).
