Fortinet FortiGate 600F FortiCare Premium Support, 1-Year (FC-10-0600F-247-02-12)

The FortiGate-600F is built for environments with serious throughput demands: 36 Gbps of firewall throughput, 11.5 Gbps SSL inspection, and 16 Gbps IPS — numbers that place it squarely in mid-enterprise and campus deployment territory. For a firewall handling that volume of traffic, active support coverage is a requirement. FC-10-0600F-247-02-12 provides one year of FortiCare Premium: 24×7 access to Fortinet engineers, one-hour response for priority-1 incidents, and Next-Business-Day hardware replacement. The 600F reached end-of-order in May 2026, but Fortinet support remains available through May 2031, with service extension until May 2030.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

This license places the FortiGate-600F at the Premium support tier. The comparison below shows how Premium stacks against Essential and Elite, so you can confirm this level of coverage fits your operational requirements.

Who Buys This

Mid-enterprise and campus IT teams running FortiGate-600F units in data center edge, aggregation, or perimeter roles are the primary buyers. Organizations with existing 600F deployments renewing expiring contracts also fit this profile. This is a support-only license; FortiGuard AntiVirus, IPS, and Web Filtering require a separate subscription or bundle. If the 600F is already under a UTP or Enterprise bundle, verify whether FortiCare Premium is included before purchasing separately.

Activation and Delivery

Fortinet delivers this as an electronic license, typically within one business day. No hardware ships. Activate the key through the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) or directly on the FortiGate-600F using its serial number under System > FortiGuard. The one-year term begins on activation.

FortiCare Premium vs. a Full Bundle

FortiCare Premium keeps the 600F in active support but provides no FortiGuard threat services. If the firewall also needs IPS, AntiVirus, Web Filtering, and Application Control, the UTP subscription bundle for the 600F is the more efficient option: it covers support plus those services in a single SKU. The Enterprise bundle adds DNS Filtering, URL Filtering, and Video Filtering on top. Purchasing a bundle is typically more cost-effective than buying services separately and simplifies co-term renewal to a single date.
