Fortinet FortiGate 40F-3G4G ATP Subscription, 3-Year (FC-10-F40FG-928-02-36)

Three-year licensing cycles are a natural fit for organizations that replace or reassess branch hardware on a similar schedule. The FortiGate 40F-3G4G ATP 3-Year subscription activates core FortiGuard protection for 36 months from registration, saving over three separate 1-year renewals while keeping the commitment shorter than a five-year term. For IT teams that want to preserve flexibility at the 3-year mark — whether to upgrade the hardware model or step up to a higher service tier — this term threads the needle between cost efficiency and planning horizon.

What ATP Activates on the FortiGate 40F-3G4G

ATP brings four FortiGuard services online: IPS for deep packet inspection and virtual patching of disclosed CVEs; anti-malware spanning antivirus, cloud sandbox analysis, and CDR to neutralize document-based exploits; URL and DNS filtering to block malicious domains and C2 channels; and Application Control for granular policy over what software crosses the LAN. All four run in FortiOS against continuously updated FortiGuard signatures. FortiCare Premium support is bundled, giving you 24×7 TAC access and firmware updates for the term.

ATP vs. UTP vs. Enterprise Protection

If you are deciding whether ATP covers your environment or whether a higher tier is warranted, the comparison below maps each service bundle.

Who Buys This License

The 3-year ATP is common among SMBs, branch offices of larger organizations, and managed service providers standardizing on a mid-term refresh cycle. It suits sites where the primary security requirement is network-layer threat prevention and web filtering, without the added complexity of email security, DLP, or CASB controls. If your environment recently deployed the 40F-3G4G and you want solid protection through the next hardware evaluation window, this term is a practical choice.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F40FG-928-02-36 is a software license delivered electronically. After purchase, a registration code arrives by email within the same business day in most cases. Register the code at support.fortinet.com against your 40F-3G4G serial number and FortiOS activates the four ATP services immediately. No physical media or hardware ships with this SKU.

Terms and Renewal

Protection runs continuously for 36 months from the activation date. At renewal, you can continue at ATP, step up to UTP or Enterprise, or co-term with a new hardware purchase. The 3-year window also makes it straightforward to plan a hardware refresh at the same time as the next renewal, keeping licensing and capital cycles in sync.
