Fortinet FortiGate 60F FortiCare Elite Support, 3-Year (FC-10-0060F-284-02-36)

Three years is the planning horizon that fits most branch firewall deployments: long enough to see a meaningful per-year saving over annual renewals, short enough to revisit hardware or licensing at the next refresh cycle. FC-10-0060F-284-02-36 locks in FortiCare Elite on the FortiGate 60F for that period, covering the full cost with a single purchase.

What FortiCare Elite Covers

This is Fortinet’s top support tier for the FG-60F. The 3-year Elite contract includes 24/7 telephone support, next-business-day hardware RMA, and full FortiGuard firmware and tools portal access. Critically, it also provides a 1-hour critical-issue initial response commitment, access to the Elite Monitoring Portal for proactive device visibility, and Extended Long-Term Stable firmware eligibility. Extended LTS firmware tracks are patched longer than standard release branches, giving change-averse environments a security-patched firmware path without a major version upgrade.

Who Buys the 3-Year Elite Term

The 3-year term is the most common choice for branch offices on a standard hardware refresh cycle. Finance teams that capitalize network equipment over 3-5 years often prefer multi-year support contracts that match the depreciation schedule. IT teams that want the tightest possible SLA from Fortinet, including the 1-hour response window, tend to choose Elite specifically; the 3-year window captures that SLA at a lower annualized rate than buying three consecutive 1-year contracts.

Activation and Delivery

After payment, the license key arrives electronically, typically within 0-1 business days. Register it at support.fortinet.com against the serial number of your FG-60F. The Elite tier activates immediately on successful registration. No hardware ships with this order.

FortiCare Elite vs. a FortiGuard Bundle

FortiCare Elite covers support, not security subscriptions. IPS, Web Filtering, AntiVirus, and the other FortiGuard threat-intelligence services come through a UTP or Enterprise bundle, sold separately. If your FG-60F already carries a FortiGuard bundle, this SKU extends or renews the support layer independently. If you need both, DataCenter360.ca can quote them together.
