Fortinet FortiCare Premium Support, 1-Year (FC5-10-M3004-248-02-12)

When your FortiManager M3004 VM is licensed at tier 5, covering up to 5,010 managed devices or Virtual Domains, a 1-year FortiCare Premium Support term (FC5-10-M3004-248-02-12) keeps that environment under active Fortinet coverage for a single calendar year. The annual cycle suits procurement teams that review support contracts on a fiscal-year basis or that expect to reassess the managed-device count before committing to a longer term.

Overview

FortiCare Premium Support (service code 248) delivers 24×7 access to Fortinet technical support engineers, priority case handling, and all FortiManager firmware and software updates released during the active subscription period. Because the M3004 is a VM-based platform, entitlement is activated electronically with no hardware shipped.

The FC5 prefix identifies VM size and plan tier 5, which covers FortiManager instances managing up to 5,010 devices or Virtual Domains. This is a distinct capacity ceiling: deployments that grow beyond 5,010 managed objects must move to tier 6 (FC6 SKUs) to remain within their licensed limit. The 1-year term (term code 12) means coverage is active for 12 months from the activation date.

Who it suits

This SKU is the right choice for network operations teams running FortiManager M3004 in VM mode with a current managed estate below the 5,010-device or VDOM threshold, and whose annual budget cycle makes a 12-month renewal the most practical commitment. Organizations that anticipate significant device-count growth in the near term may want to evaluate whether tier 5 will still apply at renewal time, or consider stepping up to an FC6 tier for the next term.

Electronic delivery applies globally. There are no regional restrictions on this license.
