Fortinet FortiManager VM FortiGate-VM with FortiCare Premium Subscription, 4-Year (FC2-10-FMGVS-258-01-48)

Organizations that refresh virtual infrastructure on 4-to-5-year cycles face a recurring mismatch when security licensing runs on shorter annual or biennial terms. FC2-10-FMGVS-258-01-48 eliminates that gap for 100-node FortiGate-VM deployments: a single 4-year FortiManager VM bundle with FortiCare Premium included, synchronized to the hardware refresh cadence rather than forcing mid-cycle renewals.

What it covers

This subscription provides FortiManager VM capacity for up to 100 FortiGate-VM devices or vdoms across a 48-month term. FortiCare Premium is included throughout, covering 24×7 TAC support, firmware and threat intelligence update access, and priority queue handling. Policy orchestration, configuration backup, revision history, and compliance audit reporting are all included for the full four years.

Who needs it

IT operations teams with 4-year capital planning cycles who want to avoid mid-cycle licensing interruptions. A 48-month term also suits private-cloud environments where the underlying hypervisor hosts are under 4-year maintenance agreements, aligning the management plane licensing with the compute maintenance window.

Activation and delivery

Fortinet delivers the activation key electronically after purchase. The key is applied inside FortiManager VM; the 100-device entitlement and the 48-month term become active immediately on registration. No physical media is involved and the license carries no country restriction.

One service vs the bundle

Managing FortiManager VM and FortiCare Premium as separate contracts over 48 months typically means at least two renewal events per contract, totaling four or more procurement interactions. The FMGVS-258 bundle reduces that to one purchase and one renewal at the 4-year mark, which is particularly valuable for lean IT teams managing renewal calendars alongside other infrastructure cycles.
