Annual renewal cycles give IT teams a natural checkpoint to reassess support needs, and some organizations prefer that flexibility over a multi-year commitment. FC-10-S424P-284-02-12 delivers a full year of FortiCare Elite coverage on the FortiSwitch 424E-POE, keeping Fortinet’s highest support tier active without locking in a longer term. For environments where budgets are approved annually or where a switch refresh may occur within 12 months, the 1-Year contract fits the planning cycle without paying for years of coverage you may not need.
FortiCare Elite is Fortinet’s top-tier hardware and technical support offering. This 1-Year license keeps the FS-424E-POE covered with 24×7 access to Fortinet’s Technical Assistance Center (TAC), Next Business Day (NBD) hardware replacement, and advanced RMA options. Elite adds a designated TAC team and enhanced SLA commitments that go beyond the FortiCare Premium (svc_code 247) tier. Coverage is tied to the FortiSwitch 424E-POE serial number — not the upstream FortiGate controller — and activates in the Fortinet Support Portal for 12 months from the registration date.
This 1-Year term suits organizations that renew support contracts annually alongside software assurance or capital equipment refresh cycles. It also works well for sites mid-way through a hardware lifecycle where a longer term would extend beyond the planned replacement date. Campus access-layer deployments running the FS-424E-POE to power IP phones, wireless APs, and IP cameras depend on uptime; Elite’s NBD hardware replacement minimizes downtime when a hardware fault occurs. Any site that wants the highest Fortinet support tier but prefers annual budget control should start here.
FC-10-S424P-284-02-12 is an electronic license. After purchase, Fortinet delivers the activation key by email, typically within one business day. You register the key in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) against the FS-424E-POE serial number to start the 12-month coverage window. No physical shipment occurs. This license is available to customers worldwide with no geographic restriction on electronic delivery.
FortiCare Elite (svc_code 284) covers hardware support and TAC access for the FortiSwitch 424E-POE itself. It does not include FortiGuard security feed subscriptions or any FortiLink management license; those require separate SKUs if your deployment needs them. If you need a combined bundle covering both support and security services, FortiSwitch bundle offerings exist separately. If your goal is simply to maintain or renew Elite support on an existing FS-424E-POE for one year, this standalone service is the correct purchase.
