Product description

Remote cellular sites running a FortiGate 40F-3G4G on a 5-year infrastructure cycle have one predictable requirement: continuous firmware entitlement and a hardware replacement path that outlasts the depreciation schedule. The FC-10-F40FG-314-02-60 covers that window in a single purchase. Five years of FortiCare Essential locks in firmware access, web-based support, and next-business-day RMA without a renewal event until year six.

What FortiCare Essential Covers

The 5-year FortiCare Essential contract for the FortiGate 40F-3G4G delivers the following for the full term:

  • Web-based case submission and support access
  • Next-business-day response for Priority 1 incidents
  • Next-business-day hardware replacement on confirmed failures (full unit including integrated LTE modem)
  • Continuous access to FortiOS firmware updates, security advisories, and the FortiCare portal

Essential’s position in the FortiCare tier structure:

Feature Essential Premium Elite
P1 (critical) response time Next business day 1 hour 15 minutes
24×7 telephone support
Next-business-day hardware RMA
Priority RMA add-on eligibility
Firmware updates, tools & portal
Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal

Who Buys This

The 5-year term suits organizations with capital-cycle planning horizons that match or exceed the hardware lease period. Buyers include finance and retail chains with 5-year store build-out plans, government and infrastructure operators procuring on long-budget cycles, and managed service providers that pre-buy multi-year contracts for client device fleets to avoid annual renewal overhead on dozens or hundreds of sites.

Activation and Delivery

The license is delivered electronically to the billing email address, usually within 0-1 business days of order confirmation. Register the key in the Fortinet FortiCare portal against the FG-40F-3G4G serial number. The 5-year entitlement is applied immediately on registration with no additional steps. No hardware ships.

FortiCare Essential vs. a Subscription Bundle

FortiCare Essential covers hardware support and firmware access only. FortiGuard security services — IPS, antivirus, web filtering, DNS filtering, application control — are not included and must be licensed separately. For sites with active threat inspection requirements over a 5-year window, the Enterprise bundle (FC-10-F40FG-809-02-60) and UTP bundle (FC-10-F40FG-950-02-60) package FortiCare Premium together with FortiGuard services in a single multi-year SKU at a bundled price that is typically lower than the combined individual cost.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca carries the full 1-, 3-, and 5-year FortiCare Essential range for the FortiGate 40F-3G4G as a Fortinet Select Partner. The FC-10-F40FG-314-02-60 is sourced through official Fortinet distribution, delivered electronically within 0-1 business days, and activates without issue in the FortiCare portal. Shorter Essential terms and the FortiCloud add-on (FC-10-F40FG-131-02-60) are stocked separately for those who need only part of the 5-year commitment.

What does FC-10-F40FG-314-02-60 include?

This is a 5-Year FortiCare Essential contract for the FortiGate 40F-3G4G. It provides web-based support access, next-business-day P1 response, next-business-day hardware RMA on confirmed failures, and firmware and portal entitlement for the full 5-year period. 24×7 phone support and Priority RMA eligibility are not included at this tier.

Does the 5-year term offer a better price than buying one-year contracts five times?

Yes. Multi-year terms typically carry a lower per-year cost than equivalent annual renewals purchased separately. Beyond price, a single 5-year purchase eliminates four renewal cycles, reducing PO overhead and the risk of a coverage lapse between annual terms.

What happens if the hardware fails during the 5-year period?

FortiCare Essential includes next-business-day hardware replacement on verified failures for the duration of the contract. Fortinet ships a replacement FG-40F-3G4G unit, including the integrated EM7565 LTE modem. Priority (same-day or 4-hour) exchange requires upgrading to FortiCare Premium and adding the Priority RMA option.

Can I upgrade to FortiCare Premium mid-contract?

Fortinet’s general practice is to purchase a co-terminus FortiCare Premium contract to run alongside or replace the Essential contract rather than a direct mid-term tier change. Contact Fortinet or DataCenter360.ca for current upgrade path guidance for your specific serial number and contract dates.

How quickly is this license delivered and how is it activated?

Electronic delivery typically happens within 0-1 business days after order confirmation. The license key is emailed to the address on file. Log into the FortiCare portal, enter the key, and bind it to the FG-40F-3G4G unit serial number. Coverage begins immediately on activation with no hardware shipment required.
