Fortinet FortiGate 2601F ATP Bundle Renewal Subscription, 1-Year (FC-10-F26F1-928-02-12)

Running a FortiGate 2601F without active security subscriptions leaves the appliance’s NP7 and CP9 acceleration processing raw traffic with no threat intelligence behind it. The FC-10-F26F1-928-02-12 changes that: a full year of Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) delivered electronically, switching on the FortiGuard services your 2601F was designed to run and pairing them with FortiCare Premium support for the duration.

What the ATP Subscription Activates

The ATP bundle is Fortinet’s core security tier for organizations that need proven, multi-layer protection without the full breadth of the higher-tier bundles. On a 2601F, these services run hardware-accelerated through the NP7 and CP9 processors:

• IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) — AI/ML-driven deep packet inspection, virtual patching for newly discovered CVEs, and SSL/TLS 1.3 visibility into encrypted traffic at line rate.
• Anti-Malware Protection (AMP) — Covers antivirus, botnet domain blocking, mobile malware, Virus Outbreak Protection, Content Disarm and Reconstruct (CDR), and FortiGate Cloud Sandbox integration.
• URL, DNS and Video Filtering — Blocks malicious URLs, DNS-based attacks, botnet communications, and unsafe video content using FortiGuard’s continuously updated database.
• Application Control — Provides granular visibility and policy enforcement across thousands of applications, including generative AI tools, at throughputs the 2601F can sustain in production.
• FortiCare Premium Support — 24×7 technical support with 1-hour response SLA for critical issues, advanced hardware replacement eligibility, and access to firmware, tools, and the Fortinet support portal.

ATP vs. Higher-Tier Bundles

The ATP bundle covers the four security pillars most deployments depend on. Organizations with stricter compliance, data protection, or OT requirements may find the Unified Threat or Enterprise tiers worth evaluating:

Who Needs This License

This subscription fits security teams operating a FortiGate 2601F as a data center perimeter firewall, high-throughput internet gateway, or carrier-grade security platform. The 2601F handles up to 198 Gbps of firewall throughput, 31 Gbps IPS, and up to 24 million concurrent sessions, so the subscription needs to match that scale. ATP delivers the four foundational FortiGuard services without the cost premium of the full Unified or Enterprise tiers, making it a practical choice for deployments where anti-spam and DLP are handled by dedicated mail and endpoint tools in the stack.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F26F1-928-02-12 is an electronic license delivered to any country worldwide. After your order is confirmed, DataCenter360.ca sends the activation code within 0-1 business days. Registration is completed in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com): log in, add the 2601F by serial number, and apply the contract. FortiGuard services start immediately on registration; FortiCare Premium support is active for the same 12-month term.

Term and Renewal

This 1-year subscription runs from the activation date. Fortinet does not auto-renew: when the term expires, FortiGuard updates stop and FortiCare support ends. Renewing before expiry maintains continuous protection with no gap in firmware eligibility or threat intelligence. If your planning horizon is longer, the same ATP bundle is available in 3-year and 5-year terms, both sold by DataCenter360.ca and carrying the same service scope.
