Fortinet FortiManager VM FortiGate-VM with FortiCare Premium Subscription, 5-Year (FC2-10-FMGVS-258-01-60)

When a FortiGate-VM deployment has reached its target architecture and the team’s focus shifts from build to operate, committing to a 5-year management subscription removes licensing from the quarterly planning agenda for half a decade. FC2-10-FMGVS-258-01-60 is the maximum standard term for the FC2 band: 60 months of FortiManager VM capacity for 100 nodes with FortiCare Premium bundled throughout, delivering the lowest annualized cost of any term in this family.

What it covers

This subscription provides FortiManager VM licensing for up to 100 FortiGate-VM devices or vdoms for 60 months. FortiCare Premium is active for the entire 5-year term, including 24×7 TAC access, firmware updates, and priority case handling. The full suite of FortiManager centralized services applies: policy orchestration, audit logging, compliance templates, and configuration revision history for all managed nodes.

Who needs it

Mature virtual firewall deployments where the infrastructure is stable and the organization wants to minimize renewal overhead and lock in today’s pricing for the longest available standard term. Government, regulated industries, and large enterprises with 5-year capital planning horizons are the primary fit.

Activation and delivery

The registration key is delivered electronically by Fortinet after purchase. Apply it in the FortiManager VM license console; the 100-node entitlement and the 60-month term activate on registration. No hardware ships and no geographic restriction applies.

One service vs the bundle

A standalone FortiManager VM subscription plus a separate FortiCare Premium contract, each renewed on shorter cycles, would produce six or more renewal transactions over 60 months. The FMGVS-258 5-year bundle condenses that into a single purchase, one co-termination date, and one renewal conversation in 2031.
