Fortinet FortiSwitch 108F POE FortiCare Elite Support, 5-Year (FC-10-F108P-284-02-60)

One registration key, five years of FortiCare Elite coverage, zero renewal touchpoints until 2031, and a per-year rate of $68.63 locked in at today’s price. For any organization treating the FortiSwitch 108F POE as a long-lived access-layer asset, FC-10-F108P-284-02-60 is the lowest-friction path to continuous Elite support. No annual purchase orders, no risk of a coverage gap if a renewal slips, and no exposure to Fortinet list price increases during the term. If the switch is expected to stay in production for five or more years, this is the term to buy once.

What it covers

FortiCare Elite (service code 284) is Fortinet’s highest standalone support tier for the FS-108F-POE. The 5-year contract activates 24×7 TAC access via phone and the Fortinet Support Portal, next-business-day advanced hardware replacement, firmware and security signature updates, and priority escalation to Fortinet’s premium support engineers for the full 60-month term. Elite’s proactive case handling and dedicated attention differentiate it from FortiCare Premium, particularly when a critical access-layer failure needs fast resolution. Coverage runs continuously from the activation date without any annual renewal action required.

Who needs it

Five-year terms are the right fit for organizations where the FS-108F-POE is embedded in stable infrastructure with no planned refresh in the near term. Education institutions, government offices, and branch office networks frequently fall into this category. They also suit IT managers who want to reduce the administrative burden of annual renewals across a multi-switch estate. A single 5-year term per device lifecycle eliminates four renewal events per switch and removes the risk of a coverage gap due to a missed renewal date.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-F108P-284-02-60 is an electronic license delivered worldwide with no geographic restriction. After purchase, Fortinet issues a registration key that attaches to the FS-108F-POE serial number. Activation is completed at support.fortinet.com; no hardware is shipped. The 60-month term begins on the activation date, so register promptly after purchase. Before buying a 5-year term on an existing unit, confirm the hardware remains within Fortinet’s product support lifecycle.

One service vs the bundle

Fortinet offers FortiSwitch bundle SKUs (BDL) that pair the FS-108F-POE hardware with an included support term. FC-10-F108P-284-02-60 is a standalone contract for a unit already in service; it covers support only, not the switch hardware. Organizations commonly use this SKU to extend coverage on a switch originally purchased with a shorter bundle term, or to add Elite support to hardware that was purchased without a bundle. Verify the unit serial number is active and registered on support.fortinet.com before ordering.
