Fortinet FortiManager VM FortiGate-VM with FortiCare Premium Subscription, 5-Year (FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-60)

At five years, FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-60 is the maximum standard term for FortiManager VM licensing in the FC1 band and carries the lowest annualized cost of any term length at this device count. Organizations that have completed their FortiGate-VM deployment and are operating in a stable long-term state use this SKU to eliminate renewal events for five consecutive years while keeping FortiCare Premium support continuously active.

What it covers

FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-60 licenses FortiManager VM to manage up to 10 FortiGate-VM devices or vdoms for 60 months. FortiCare Premium support is bundled for the same 5-year period, providing 24×7 Fortinet TAC access, firmware and security content updates, and advanced replacement entitlement. The FortiManager VM platform handles centralized policy management, configuration distribution, and log aggregation across all managed virtual firewall endpoints for the full term.

Who needs it

Enterprise teams and managed service providers that have completed deployment and are in a long-term operational phase are the primary buyers of the 5-year term. The annualized cost is lower than any shorter term in the FC1 band, and a single renewal event at the end of year five reduces procurement touchpoints significantly compared to renewing annually or biennially. It suits organizations that treat virtual firewall infrastructure as a stable, long-running asset rather than a project with a defined end date.

Activation and delivery

FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-60 is an electronic license available worldwide. After purchase from DataCenter360.ca, Fortinet delivers the activation key by email. The key registers on the Fortinet Support Portal against the FortiManager VM instance and starts the 60-month subscription clock. No physical shipment is involved at any point. Licensing is not restricted by geography; the subscription is valid regardless of where the FortiManager VM instance is hosted.

One service vs. the bundle

The 258 svc code bundles FortiManager VM platform access with FortiCare Premium in a single purchase. Over a 5-year term, buying the two separately would mean tracking independent renewal dates across five years. A single bundled SKU eliminates that risk, simplifies vendor invoicing, and guarantees that support coverage and platform entitlement never fall out of sync. The annualized equivalent for FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-60 is approximately $328.96 per year for both services combined.
