Fortinet FortiGate 80F FortiCare Premium, 3-Year (FC-10-0080F-247-02-36)

Three years of FortiCare Premium for the FortiGate 80F cuts out two renewal cycles and locks in 24/7 support coverage and advance hardware replacement for the full period. For branch and small-office deployments that are expected to stay in production for several years, the 3-Year FortiCare Premium service (FC-10-0080F-247-02-36) is usually more cost-effective on a per-year basis than stacking three annual renewals, and it removes the risk of a lapse if a renewal gets delayed at budget time.

What the 3-Year FortiCare Premium Term Covers

FC-10-0080F-247-02-36 is a support and maintenance subscription for the FortiGate 80F, valid for three years from the activation date. Like the 1-year version, it does not activate FortiGuard security services — it covers support and hardware. Over those three years, the subscription provides:

• 24/7 telephone and email access to Fortinet technical support for the entire term
• Advance next-business-day hardware replacement: Fortinet ships a replacement before you return the defective unit
• All firmware updates, security patches, and platform releases for the 80F through the term
• Continuous access to the FortiCare portal, knowledge base, and support tooling
• Eligibility to add Priority RMA as a separate service for faster hardware dispatch

This is the Premium tier. Here is a comparison of FortiCare levels:

Who Chooses the 3-Year Term

Multi-year support terms are common in environments where budget approval cycles are annual or where IT procurement prefers predictable, multi-year service agreements. For organizations managing a distributed fleet of FortiGate 80F appliances — retail chains, franchise networks, regional branch offices — a 3-year term can often be negotiated at a better per-year rate than three separate renewals and reduces the administrative overhead of tracking annual expiries across multiple sites. The 80F’s hardware lifecycle also makes a 3-year support window natural: it is a current-generation platform and is likely to remain in production well past the 36-month mark.

Activation and Delivery

This license is delivered electronically by email. After payment, DataCenter360.ca generates the activation through the Fortinet partner portal and sends the license details, typically within the same business day. The 3-year term registers to the FortiGate 80F’s serial number through FortiCare or FortiCloud. If you are renewing from an expiring 1-year or 3-year contract, activating before the current end date extends the service period from that date, with no coverage gap.

3-Year FortiCare Premium vs. the Full Subscription Bundle

FortiCare Premium, even over a 3-year term, covers only support and hardware replacement. FortiGuard security feeds require a separate FortiGuard subscription or a bundle SKU. If the FortiGate 80F is already running a UTP or Enterprise bundle, those bundles include FortiCare Essential; adding FC-10-0080F-247-02-36 upgrades the support tier to Premium for the same 3-year window without replacing the existing bundle. If neither a bundle nor FortiCare is currently active and the goal is a complete security-plus-support subscription, consider a 3-year bundle SKU alongside this or instead of it, depending on which services are needed.
