Product description

Five consecutive annual FortiCare Essential renewals for the FS-124F would total $188.20 at the 1-year rate. FC-10-S124N-314-02-60 covers the same 60 months for $167.29, saving $20.91 per switch while reducing five separate procurement events to one. For organizations that operate the FortiSwitch 124F as a permanent part of their access-layer infrastructure and do not anticipate a hardware swap before 2031, the 5-year contract delivers the lowest effective monthly cost of any Essential term and eliminates the renewal task for the full period.

What it covers

The 5-year contract delivers the same Essential entitlements continuously across 60 months: next-business-day critical-issue response through Fortinet’s online support system, return-and-replace RMA on confirmed hardware faults, uninterrupted firmware and security updates, and access to the Fortinet asset management portal and online tools. Telephone support is not part of the Essential tier at any term length; it is available at Premium and Elite.

Who needs it

This contract is the right fit for IT managers and procurement teams overseeing the FS-124F in environments with long hardware lifecycles, such as hospitality properties, educational institutions, government offices, and managed service providers with multi-year client contracts. Locking in 5-year Essential coverage now protects against future price increases on subsequent renewals and ensures the switch stays in a fully supported state through an extended operational window without requiring any further renewal action.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-S124N-314-02-60 is an electronic license delivered worldwide. A Fortinet registration link arrives by email after purchase. Apply the contract to the FS-124F serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal to activate the full 60-month coverage window. No physical shipment or on-device installation is required.

One service vs the bundle

Essential covers the core entitlements for the full five years. The table below compares Essential, Premium, and Elite for teams evaluating whether the response-time or telephone-support differences justify a higher tier over a long commitment window.

Frequently asked questions

Does FC-10-S124N-314-02-60 actually cost less than five annual renewals?
Yes. Five 1-year Essential renewals at $37.64 each total $188.20. The 5-year contract is $167.29, a saving of $20.91 per switch. On larger deployments with multiple FS-124F units, this difference per unit adds up meaningfully.
Can this contract be purchased alongside new FS-124F hardware?
No. The -314- service code marks this as a renewal-only contract. The FS-124F must already be registered in the Fortinet Support Portal before FC-10-S124N-314-02-60 can be applied to it.
What happens if we replace the FS-124F with a newer switch before the 5 years are up?
FortiCare contracts are tied to a specific hardware serial number. If the unit is decommissioned early, the remaining term cannot typically be transferred to a replacement device. Contact DataCenter360.ca before replacing the hardware to discuss your options.
Does the 5-year Essential contract include phone support?
No. Telephone support is an entitlement of the Premium and Elite tiers regardless of contract length. Essential at any term uses Fortinet’s online support portal with next-business-day response for critical issues.
Can I stack another renewal before this 5-year contract expires?
Yes. Fortinet stacks renewal contracts starting from the day after the current term ends. Renewing early with another 5-year Essential contract ensures uninterrupted coverage and can lock in the current price before any future list-price increases.
