Fortinet FortiManager VM FortiGate-VM with FortiCare Premium Subscription, 3-Year (FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-36)

Three years is the standard planning horizon for virtualized network infrastructure, and the term most organizations target when they are ready to commit beyond a pilot. FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-36 locks in FortiManager VM management for up to 10 FortiGate-VM instances or vdoms across 36 months, with FortiCare Premium support included, so the environment stays covered through a full technology refresh cycle without a mid-term renewal.

What it covers

FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-36 activates FortiManager VM to centrally manage up to 10 FortiGate-VM devices or vdoms for three years. FortiCare Premium support runs for the same period, providing 24×7 Fortinet TAC access, firmware and security content updates, and advanced replacement entitlement. Policy orchestration, centralized logging, and multi-device configuration management are all available under the single subscription for the full 36-month term.

Who needs it

Enterprise IT teams and managed service providers running stable virtual firewall environments benefit most from the 3-year term. It aligns with standard infrastructure planning cycles, reduces renewal frequency to once per technology generation, and ensures that FortiCare Premium support remains active without an administrative gap. Organizations standardizing on FortiGate-VM for branch or cloud deployments of up to 10 nodes find this the most operationally efficient term.

Activation and delivery

This is an electronic license with no hardware component. After purchase from DataCenter360.ca, Fortinet sends the activation key by email. Registration on the Fortinet Support Portal ties the 36-month subscription to the FortiManager VM instance and starts the term. The license is fulfilled worldwide; no import process or physical shipment applies.

One service vs. the bundle

Svc-code 258 packages the FortiManager VM entitlement and FortiCare Premium into one SKU. Over a 3-year term, this consolidation means one renewal event replaces what would otherwise be six separate annual line-item renewals if the two services were tracked independently. It also guarantees that the support tier and the platform entitlement remain synchronized for the full 36 months.
