Fortinet FortiGate 80F FortiCare Essential, 3-Year (FC-10-0080F-314-02-36)

Three years of FortiCare Essential coverage on a single registration code. FC-10-0080F-314-02-36 is the practical middle ground for FortiGate 80F deployments that need Fortinet’s hardware replacement program and support portal access without the overhead of re-ordering every twelve months.

What FortiCare Essential Covers

This product is FortiCare Essential — Fortinet’s entry-level support tier. The table below shows how it compares to Premium and Elite:

Essential covers the support and hardware-replacement layer. It does not include FortiGuard security subscriptions. Organizations that need active IPS, antivirus, or web filtering alongside support coverage should consider a UTP or Enterprise bundle instead of a standalone Essential subscription.

Why Choose a 3-Year Term

Annual renewals work fine for short-term evaluations or hardware you expect to replace within a year. For a FortiGate 80F that will remain in production through a standard 3-year refresh cycle, the 3-year term reduces the cost per year compared to renewing annually and removes the risk of an accidental coverage lapse. Finance teams also prefer multi-year subscriptions because the full cost is captured in a single purchase order.

Activation and Delivery

After payment, DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration code electronically within 0 to 1 business day. Go to support.fortinet.com, enter the code against your FortiGate 80F serial number, and the full 3-year term activates immediately. No physical shipment; the license is recorded in Fortinet’s registration system and visible in FortiGate’s System > FortiGuard panel.

FortiCare Essential vs. Security Bundles

FortiCare Essential is the support tier only. If your 80F needs FortiGuard threat feeds alongside FortiCare, the 3-Year UTP bundle (FC-10-0080F-950-02-36) and Enterprise bundle (FC-10-0080F-809-02-36) both include FortiCare Premium plus FortiGuard services in a single SKU. The standalone FortiCloud subscription for the 80F (FC-10-0080F-131-02-36) is also available if you want centralized cloud management alongside this Essential term.
