Five years of FortiCare Essential eliminates four renewal cycles and keeps the FS-T1024F under continuous vendor support through most of its operational lifespan. FC-10-TF124-314-02-60 suits organizations that deploy the switch as a fixed, long-term infrastructure component and want to eliminate contract-lapse risk and the procurement overhead that comes with repeated annual or triennial renewals.
FortiCare Essential on a 5-Year term delivers 60 months of firmware and security updates, continuous access to Fortinet’s online support tools and asset management portal, and return-and-replace hardware RMA. If the FS-T1024F develops a hardware fault at any point during the term, you ship the unit to Fortinet and receive a replacement after it is processed. The critical-issue response SLA remains next business day for the full five years. Telephone TAC and advanced replacement are not included; those start at the Premium tier.
The 5-Year term is best suited to FS-T1024F deployments in stable, long-lived environments: data center fixed infrastructure, dedicated out-of-band management planes, or purpose-built switching fabrics where the hardware is not expected to be refreshed on a short cycle. Procurement teams that handle contracts once per hardware lifecycle rather than annually will find the 5-Year term significantly reduces administrative touchpoints. It is also practical for organizations with strict contract-lapse policies, where a missed renewal window could leave the switch unpatched.
FC-10-TF124-314-02-60 is an electronic license with worldwide delivery. After order confirmation, Fortinet generates an activation key that you register in the FortiCare portal against the FS-T1024F serial number. Coverage begins from the activation date or from the expiry of an existing support term, running for the full 60-month period. No hardware is shipped. This SKU is a renewal-only contract and is not sold at the time of initial hardware purchase.
Across a five-year deployment, the choice of support tier has a material effect on recovery time during hardware failures. Essential’s return-and-replace RMA is adequate for environments that can tolerate a short gap between shipping the failed unit and receiving the replacement. Premium and Elite accelerate this with advanced replacement and telephone TAC for environments where downtime is costlier. The table below maps all three tiers so you can confirm Essential is the right fit before committing to the full five-year term.
