Three years is the most common renewal term for branch FortiGate deployments: long enough to reduce renewal overhead, short enough to reassess the service tier at the next hardware cycle. The FC-10-G70GP-950-02-36 renews or extends UTP coverage on a FortiGate 70G-PoE for 36 months, keeping IPS signatures current, URL filtering databases fresh, and cloud sandboxing active without requiring an annual procurement event. The license delivers electronically and activates against your unit’s serial number from anywhere in the world.

What the UTP Bundle Turns On

UTP (service code 950) provides the core threat-protection stack Fortinet recommends for most branch deployments. IPS uses over 18,000 signatures with AI/ML acceleration to detect and block exploits across all traffic entering and leaving the branch. Advanced Malware Protection combines signature antivirus, mobile malware detection, and FortiGuard Cloud Sandbox for behavioral analysis of suspicious files. Application Control gives per-application visibility and policy enforcement. URL and DNS and Video Filtering blocks malicious URLs, phishing domains, and inappropriate content using Fortinet’s continuously updated cloud database. Antispam reduces email threats for connected mail infrastructure. FortiCare Premium provides 24×7 support access and firmware updates.

How UTP Compares to Other Tiers

Who Buys This License

IT administrators renewing a subscription on a FortiGate 70G-PoE that is partway through its hardware lifecycle often choose 3 years to align the service expiry with the next expected hardware refresh. Organizations running multiple 70G-PoE units at different branch sites can standardize renewal terms across all units by purchasing 3-year licenses, which simplifies the management calendar. The 3-year term also suits procurement teams that work on 3-year budget cycles and prefer to purchase services once per cycle rather than annually.

Activation and Delivery

This SKU is a pure software license. After your order is confirmed, DataCenter360.ca delivers the Fortinet activation key by email, typically within one business day. You register the key in the FortiCare portal against your 70G-PoE serial number and services activate immediately. If the unit has a current active subscription, the 3-year term stacks onto the existing expiry. The activation date, not the order date, starts the clock.

Terms and Renewal Options

If three years is shorter than your planning horizon, the 5-year variant (FC-10-G70GP-950-02-60) locks in the same UTP services at a lower effective per-year cost. The 1-year version (FC-10-G70GP-950-02-12) suits deployments where annual review is preferred. Teams that need Data Loss Prevention, OT Security, or AI Inline Malware Prevention in addition to UTP should look at the Enterprise tier (FC-10-G70GP-809-02-36) at the same 3-year term.
