When the FortiSwitch 424E-POE is a long-term fixture in the access layer — powering a stable PoE deployment of wireless APs, IP cameras, or VoIP phones — a five-year support commitment removes renewal risk for the switch’s entire productive life. FC-10-S424P-284-02-60 is the longest available FortiCare Elite term for this switch, locking in the top support tier for 60 months in a single purchase. Organizations that prioritize predictable support costs, minimal procurement overhead, and continuous Elite-tier TAC coverage over the switch lifecycle choose the 5-Year term.
For 60 months, this license maintains FortiCare Elite on the FS-424E-POE: 24×7 TAC access, Next Business Day hardware replacement, advanced RMA options, and a designated TAC team with enhanced SLA commitments. The 5-Year term eliminates the risk of a support lapse caused by a missed annual or 3-year renewal. Coverage is registered to the FortiSwitch 424E-POE serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal; it does not extend to the FortiGate controller that manages the switch via FortiLink. Elite is Fortinet’s highest support tier, and this contract holds that status in place for the full five years.
The 5-Year term makes the most sense for stable, long-lived deployments where the FS-424E-POE is not scheduled for replacement within five years. Managed service providers and enterprise IT teams that standardize on multi-year support contracts to reduce vendor-management workload benefit most. Healthcare, government, and education environments — where budget cycles favor single larger purchases over recurring annual spend — find the 5-Year term practical for switch infrastructure. The FS-424E-POE’s 370W PoE budget makes it a critical access-layer component; any support lapse on a switch delivering power to dozens of connected devices carries real operational risk, and the 5-Year term removes that exposure entirely.
FC-10-S424P-284-02-60 is an electronic license. After purchase, Fortinet delivers the activation key by email, typically within one business day. Register the key in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) against the FS-424E-POE serial number to begin the 60-month coverage window. No physical shipment occurs. Delivery is available to customers worldwide with no geographic restriction.
This SKU is a standalone FortiCare Elite support contract for the FortiSwitch 424E-POE hardware. It does not include FortiGuard security subscription services or any other add-on licenses. If your organization needs a package covering both hardware support and security services, FortiSwitch bundle SKUs are available separately. If you already have the switch and simply need to maintain or renew Elite support for five years with a single purchase, FC-10-S424P-284-02-60 is the direct option.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner and this SKU is in stock for immediate order. The 5-Year Elite term is a long-term infrastructure commitment at $1,346.33 list price; customers renewing Elite support across multiple FS-424E-POE switches at the same time can request a multi-unit volume quote.
