Fortinet FortiGate 60F FortiCare Elite Support, 1-Year (FC-10-0060F-284-02-12)

If you want full visibility into what FortiCare Elite delivers before committing to a multi-year term, the 1-year SKU is the right entry point. It also fits deployments where support is renewed annually to match a fiscal year budget, or where the FG-60F role may be re-evaluated within the next 12 months.

What This Subscription Includes

FortiCare Elite is the highest support tier Fortinet offers for FortiGate appliances. The 1-year FC-10-0060F-284-02-12 activates 24/7 telephone support, next-business-day hardware RMA, firmware and tools access, a 1-hour critical-issue response commitment, access to the Elite Monitoring Portal, and Extended LTS firmware eligibility for one full year. The 1-hour response SLA distinguishes Elite from FortiCare Premium (4-hour response) and is the key reason many compliance-driven environments choose it.

Who This Suits

The 1-year term works well for organizations on annual budget cycles, procurement processes that require year-over-year approval, or IT teams evaluating whether the Elite tier provides enough additional value to justify the cost over FortiCare Premium. It is also the typical first-year choice when purchasing a new FG-60F without a bundle: the hardware needs support from day one, and Elite gives the tightest response window available.

Activation and Delivery

Electronic delivery. The license key reaches you by email within 0-1 business days. Activate at support.fortinet.com by registering the key against the serial number of your FG-60F. Activation is immediate; no hardware ships. If you are activating for the first time on this appliance, create or log in to your FortiCare account before registration.

Annual vs. Multi-Year

Buying annually gives flexibility: you can choose a different tier at renewal, or switch to a different Fortinet model entirely at refresh without unused contract time. The trade-off is a slightly higher annualized cost compared to 3- or 5-year terms. If the FG-60F is a long-term fixture, consider the 3-year (FC-10-0060F-284-02-36) or 5-year (FC-10-0060F-284-02-60) at next renewal for a lower per-year rate.
