Fortinet FortiManager VM FortiGate-VM with FortiCare Premium Subscription, 2-Year (FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-24)

Two-year licensing matches the natural cadence of most infrastructure projects: deployment and configuration in the first year, steady-state operation in the second, all under a single procurement event. FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-24 covers up to 10 FortiGate-VM instances or vdoms under FortiManager VM for 24 months, with FortiCare Premium bundled across the full term.

What it covers

This subscription runs FortiManager VM for two years, managing up to 10 FortiGate-VM devices or vdoms. FortiCare Premium support is included for the full 24-month period, covering 24×7 Fortinet TAC access, firmware and security content updates, and advanced replacement entitlement. All managed endpoints report into a single FortiManager VM console for centralized policy, logging, and configuration management.

Who needs it

Teams that have moved past a pilot phase and are entering steady-state virtual firewall management find the 2-year term reduces renewal overhead without overcommitting. It covers a typical deployment project lifecycle from go-live through the first operational review cycle. Service providers and enterprise IT teams running stable environments of up to 10 FortiGate-VM nodes are the primary buyers.

Activation and delivery

FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-24 is fulfilled electronically. Fortinet delivers the activation key by email after purchase. The key registers on the Fortinet Support Portal against your FortiManager VM instance and starts the 24-month subscription clock. No physical shipment is involved. The license is available to customers worldwide through DataCenter360.ca.

One service vs. the bundle

Svc-code 258 combines the FortiManager VM platform entitlement with FortiCare Premium support in a single SKU. Over a 2-year term, this consolidation means one renewal event rather than annual renewals of two separate line items. It also prevents the support tier from falling out of sync with the platform entitlement, which is a common issue when the two are tracked independently.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca
