Fortinet Managed FortiClient Subscription, 4-Year (FC4-10-EMS05-485-01-48)

Organizations that have standardized on FortiClient for endpoint security across 10,000 devices benefit from a 4-year subscription that locks in coverage through multiple fiscal years. EMS is hosted on FortiCloud, so no on-premises server is required. A 4-year FC4 term cuts renewal cycles over the subscription lifecycle, lowering procurement overhead for large enterprises and MSSPs. This is a worldwide electronic license with no hardware or physical shipment.

What this subscription covers

The FC4 Managed FortiClient Subscription delivers centralized endpoint protection for up to 10,000 endpoints under a single subscription key. Coverage includes vulnerability scanning, web filtering, application firewall, SSL-VPN and IPsec-VPN client connectivity, and endpoint telemetry feeding into the Fortinet Security Fabric. All 10,000 endpoints are managed from a single FortiClient EMS console, giving administrators unified policy enforcement and compliance visibility across the entire estate.

Seat bands and minimum order

FortiClient licensing uses a seat-band model, with each band covering a defined endpoint count. FC4 is the top enterprise tier, covering up to 10,000 endpoints under one subscription key. The table below shows where FC4 sits relative to the smaller bands. Contact DataCenter360.ca if your deployment requires coverage beyond 10,000 endpoints.

How FortiClient is deployed

This subscription uses the EMS05 deployment model: FortiClient EMS is hosted by Fortinet on FortiCloud infrastructure. No on-premises EMS server is required. After purchase, Fortinet provisions a cloud-hosted EMS instance and your endpoints connect to it directly. The hosted model suits enterprises that prefer SaaS-based management platforms and MSSPs that need to run endpoint fleets across multiple client tenants from a single console without maintaining dedicated server infrastructure.

Who it fits

FC4 is sized for large enterprises and MSSPs with endpoint estates of 10,000 or more devices. Organizations at this tier typically run centralized security operations teams, multi-site deployments, and Fortinet Security Fabric integrations. MSSPs delivering managed endpoint detection services at enterprise scale benefit from FC4 capacity and the FortiCloud-hosted EMS model, which supports multi-tenant management from one console.
