Committing to a five-year term with FC-10-GT31G-928-02-60 means your FortiGate 31G runs Fortinet’s full ATP stack from day one to year five, with no annual renewal cycle and a fixed per-year cost that fits a five-year IT budget. The subscription activates IPS, Advanced Malware Protection, Application Control, and FortiCare Premium on an already-deployed or newly purchased FG-31G. Nothing ships; the license arrives electronically, and protection is live within hours of activation.

What the ATP Subscription Activates

ATP is Fortinet’s core threat prevention layer. IPS inspects traffic for known exploits and vulnerability patterns. Advanced Malware Protection catches suspicious files using real-time cloud-assisted scanning, blocking threats that signature-only detection misses. Application Control gives your team visibility and enforcement over thousands of applications, useful for enforcing acceptable-use policies or restricting high-risk traffic categories. FortiCare Premium rounds out the bundle with 24×7 TAC support, firmware update entitlement, and priority-queue routing for support cases. All four components draw on continuous FortiGuard Labs intelligence updates throughout the subscription term.

ATP, UTP, and Enterprise: What Each Bundle Covers

ATP is the right starting point for teams that need solid threat prevention but handle web filtering and email antispam elsewhere in their infrastructure. If those functions need to live on the FortiGate, the UTP subscription is the next step up, and the Enterprise bundle adds compliance-oriented features like DLP, CASB, and SOC-as-a-Service.

Who Buys the Five-Year ATP for the FG-31G

Five-year subscriptions appeal to IT managers at small offices, retail locations, and remote branch sites where the FortiGate 31G is expected to stay in production through the full subscription window. Locking in for five years eliminates the risk of a lapsed license causing a protection gap and simplifies software asset tracking. The FG-31G is also notable for its 64GB SSD, which supports extended local log retention; pairing the unit with a five-year ATP subscription makes sense for sites where shipping every log event to a central SIEM over a metered WAN link is not practical.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-GT31G-928-02-60 is delivered electronically. After the order is confirmed, DataCenter360.ca sends your Fortinet license key by email, typically within the same business day. You activate it through the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) by linking the key to your registered FG-31G serial number. If the unit is not yet registered, the Fortinet portal walks through both steps in sequence. Once active, the FortiGate retrieves updated FortiGuard signatures automatically; no manual package downloads are required.

Term Options and Renewal

The FG-31G ATP subscription is available in one-year, three-year, and five-year terms. The five-year option offers the lowest effective annual cost and removes renewal administration for the duration. Shorter terms are available on this site if your procurement cycle requires annual or tri-annual renewals. Renewing before the current term expires extends the end date forward from the existing expiry; there is no gap in coverage and no need to re-enter settings. A new key after expiry restarts from activation date, and signature updates pause during any gap between terms.
