Product description

Five years of FortiCare Elite Support means the FortiSwitch FS-08FN is covered for its entire operational life under one purchase decision. FC-10-S08FN-284-02-60 eliminates renewal interruptions, locks in the highest Fortinet support tier from deployment through end of useful life, and gives financial planning teams a fixed support cost for the full 60-month period. For any organization where the FS-08FN is a permanent fixture rather than a device to be cycled out within two or three years, this is the most cost-effective path to uninterrupted Elite coverage.

What it covers

FC-10-S08FN-284-02-60 keeps the FS-08FN on FortiCare Elite for 60 consecutive months. Entitlements active from day one through year five include:

  • 15-minute initial response on Priority 1 (network-down) cases, Fortinet’s fastest critical-issue SLA
  • 24×7 telephone access to Fortinet Technical Assistance Center engineers
  • Advance hardware replacement RMA, with Priority RMA add-on eligibility throughout the term
  • Firmware and software updates for the FS-08FN for the entire 60-month period
  • Fortinet asset portal, online support tools, and Elite monitoring portal access for the full term
  • Extended long-term support (LTS) release eligibility, providing stable, security-patched firmware across a five-year horizon

Who needs it

A 5-year support term fits environments where infrastructure investments are expected to outlast typical 3-year refresh cycles. Retail chains, light-industrial branch offices, and compact deployments where the FS-08FN connects business-critical equipment often run switches for six or more years. IT teams managing large Fortinet estates consolidate on multi-year terms to reduce renewal overhead and keep support costs predictable. Organizations under compliance frameworks that require active manufacturer support throughout the device’s service life find the 5-year term removes any gap risk.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-S08FN-284-02-60 is an electronic license delivered worldwide via email. DataCenter360.ca processes the order and Fortinet generates a registration key, which you apply at the Fortinet Support portal (support.fortinet.com) to bind 60 months of Elite coverage to your FS-08FN serial number. Delivery is paperless, immediate after processing, and available to buyers in any country. There is no physical shipment. The 5-year clock starts on the registration date recorded in the Fortinet asset portal.

One service vs the bundle

FC-10-S08FN-284-02-60 is a dedicated FortiCare Elite Support contract for the FS-08FN. It covers hardware support, RMA, firmware access, and the Elite monitoring portal for this device over five years. The FS-08FN is an unmanaged access switch, so it does not use FortiGuard security intelligence feeds; this contract does not include them, and you are not billed for subscriptions the hardware cannot consume. FortiGate firewalls, FortiAP access points, and other licensed Fortinet devices in the same network each require their own support and subscription contracts. The 5-year standalone structure gives you precisely what the FS-08FN needs for its full lifecycle.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a 5-year FortiCare Elite term rather than three consecutive annual contracts?
A single 5-year contract eliminates the risk of a missed annual renewal that would drop Elite coverage until corrected. It also typically delivers a better cost-per-year rate and fixes support costs for the full lifecycle.
What does the Elite monitoring portal provide that other FortiCare tiers do not?
The Elite monitoring portal gives Fortinet support engineers proactive visibility into the registered device. This allows Fortinet to flag potential issues and reach out before a failure escalates to a Priority 1 case, a capability not available under Premium or Essential tiers.
Is advance replacement RMA included for all 60 months?
Yes. Advance hardware replacement RMA is active for the full 5-year term. Fortinet ships a replacement FS-08FN before you return the defective unit whenever a hardware failure cannot be resolved remotely. The Priority RMA add-on, which accelerates the replacement shipment timeline, is also available as an upgrade.
Can I purchase FC-10-S08FN-284-02-60 for an FS-08FN already on an active support contract?
Yes. If the FS-08FN is currently on an active FortiCare contract, you can purchase a 5-year Elite term in advance. The new term will begin sequentially after the existing contract’s expiry date, maintaining continuous Elite coverage without overlap.
Does a 5-year term lock me into a specific firmware version for the FS-08FN?
No. FortiCare Elite includes access to all firmware updates and long-term support (LTS) release tracks released during the 60-month term. You choose when to update; the LTS track provides security patches on a stable branch without requiring adoption of every new feature release.
