Fortinet FortiManager VM FortiGate-VM with FortiCare Premium Subscription, 3-Year (FC2-10-FMGVS-258-01-36)

Three-year reserved compute contracts are a standard buying pattern for AWS, Azure, and GCP workloads. FC2-10-FMGVS-258-01-36 matches that rhythm: a single 3-year FortiManager VM subscription with FortiCare Premium bundled in for 100 FortiGate-VM devices, so the management layer and the underlying cloud reservation expire at the same time rather than at different points mid-deployment.

What it covers

This subscription provides FortiManager VM licensing for up to 100 FortiGate-VM devices or vdoms for 36 months, with FortiCare Premium support active for the full term. Covered services include 24×7 TAC access, firmware and security content updates, policy orchestration, centralized audit logging, and compliance report generation across the managed node pool.

Who needs it

Cloud infrastructure teams that align their Fortinet licensing with 3-year reserved instance agreements. A 36-month term reduces the administrative overhead of annual renewals and provides Fortinet TAC continuity across major FortiOS version cycles, which typically span 2 to 3 years for a given feature train.

Activation and delivery

The license key is delivered electronically by Fortinet after purchase. Apply it in the FortiManager VM registration panel; the device count and term update within minutes. No hardware is involved and no country restriction applies. The 36-month clock begins on the registration date.

One service vs the bundle

Over a 3-year window, separate FortiManager VM and FortiCare Premium contracts would generate at minimum two to three renewal events depending on term lengths chosen. The FMGVS-258 bundle eliminates that fragmentation: one SKU, one renewal date at the 36-month mark, and one line on the annual support register.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca can issue a quote tying this 3-year license to a cloud reserved-instance procurement so both are captured in the same purchase order. For organizations with existing 1-year or 2-year subscriptions, contact the team about mid-cycle upgrade paths and whether a co-term arrangement better fits the budget timeline than waiting for the current term to expire.
