Fortinet FortiGate 80F FortiCare Essential, 5-Year (FC-10-0080F-314-02-60)

Five years of uninterrupted FortiCare Essential coverage on a single registration. FC-10-0080F-314-02-60 is designed for organizations that plan to run a FortiGate 80F through a full deployment lifecycle and want to eliminate annual renewal friction while locking in today’s pricing for the entire period.

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 gives you the hardware safety net and Fortinet support portal access. It does not activate FortiGuard threat intelligence feeds. If you need threat prevention services alongside this support term, see the 5-Year UTP or Enterprise bundle options for the 80F.

Why a 5-Year Term Makes Sense

Most FortiGate 80F deployments align with a 5-year capital refresh cycle: buy hardware, depreciate over five years, then replace at end-of-life. Matching the FortiCare term to that cycle means one purchase order covers support for the entire ownership period. You avoid three separate annual renewals (with their accompanying purchase approvals), the risk of a lapse during a busy renewal period, and potential price increases at each renewal. The per-year cost at the 5-year term is also lower than the 1-year or 3-year equivalents.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca sends the registration code electronically within 0 to 1 business day of payment. Activate on support.fortinet.com under your FortiGate 80F serial number. The full 5-year term registers immediately — no physical shipment, no waiting for a courier. If you are stacking onto an existing active term, the 5 years extend from the current expiry date rather than today’s date.

Standalone Support vs. a Complete Bundle

FortiCare Essential covers the support and hardware-replacement layer only. If your 80F also needs FortiGuard IPS, antivirus, web filtering, and application control, the 5-Year UTP bundle (FC-10-0080F-950-02-60) packages FortiCare Premium plus those FortiGuard services together. The Enterprise bundle (FC-10-0080F-809-02-60) adds SD-WAN Overlay and advanced threat analytics on top. For teams that want cloud-managed visibility alongside this Essential term, the 5-Year FortiCloud subscription (FC-10-0080F-131-02-60) pairs well with this SKU.
