Fortinet FortiCare Premium Support, 3-Year (FC5-10-M3004-248-02-36)

Managing a FortiManager M3004 VM at tier 5, with capacity for up to 5,010 devices or Virtual Domains, comes with predictable support requirements over time. FC5-10-M3004-248-02-36 covers that deployment with a 3-year FortiCare Premium Support subscription, removing the need to process an annual renewal for three consecutive years while keeping 24×7 technical access and firmware updates active throughout.

Overview

FortiCare Premium Support (service code 248) provides 24×7 Fortinet technical support, priority case handling, and all FortiManager software updates during the coverage window. The M3004 is a VM-based FortiManager deployment, so the license is delivered electronically with no physical component.

The FC5 designation marks tier 5 capacity: up to 5,010 managed devices or Virtual Domains per FortiManager instance. The 3-year term (term code 36) means this single SKU keeps the M3004 covered for 36 months from activation. Compared with three separate 1-year renewals, a 3-year subscription reduces procurement touchpoints and ensures there is no gap in coverage if an annual renewal is delayed.

Who it suits

FC5-10-M3004-248-02-36 is well matched to organizations that have established FortiManager M3004 VM deployments managing up to 5,010 devices or VDOMs and that prefer multi-year purchasing cycles. IT teams that find annual renewals a procurement burden, or those whose licensing budgets are approved in multi-year blocks, benefit directly from the 3-year term. The tier 5 ceiling should remain appropriate for the full 36-month period; if device growth is expected to push past 5,010 during that window, moving to a tier 6 SKU at the outset is more cost-effective than a mid-term upgrade.

This license is valid worldwide and activates electronically.
