Fortinet FortiManager 1000G FortiCare Premium Support, 5-Year (FC-10-FM1KG-247-02-60)

Five years of uninterrupted FortiCare Premium Support on the FortiManager 1000G is the maximum term Fortinet offers for this appliance, and FC-10-FM1KG-247-02-60 is the contract for organizations that treat FM1KG as a fixed infrastructure component with a known operational life. Locking in 60 months eliminates four renewal cycles, reduces administrative overhead to near zero, and delivers the best per-year support cost of any available term length for this appliance.

Overview

FortiCare Premium at the 5-year term delivers the same entitlements as shorter terms, sustained for the full 60-month period without interruption or re-registration. Your FortiManager 1000G receives a 1-hour response commitment for critical issues, telephone access to Fortinet engineers, and advance hardware replacement under RMA, with eligibility for the Priority RMA add-on upgrade. Firmware updates, the Fortinet online support portal, and the asset management tools remain active throughout all five years, keeping the appliance covered from the first day of the term to the last. The comparison table below shows where Premium sits relative to Essential and Elite across every covered feature.

Who it suits

A 5-year term makes the most sense for organizations where FortiManager 1000G has been fully integrated into the network operations model and is not scheduled for replacement within the support window. Large enterprises with long procurement cycles, government or regulated-sector customers whose asset lifecycles are defined by fixed budget periods, and teams that want to eliminate recurring support renewal tasks entirely are the primary buyers of FC-10-FM1KG-247-02-60. The per-year support cost is lower than both the 1-year and 3-year terms, which is a meaningful factor when presenting a total cost of ownership figure for a long-lived management platform. Organizations still establishing their FM1KG deployment may prefer the 1-year or 3-year terms before committing to the full 60-month period.
