Product description

When the FortiGate 80F-POE is also acting as the power source for your wireless access points or IP cameras, a lapse in support is a lapse in the entire branch stack. This 1-year FortiCare Essential subscription keeps the appliance on active firmware and hardware replacement coverage for twelve months.

What FortiCare Essential Covers

FortiCare Essential is Fortinet’s base service plan for FortiGate 80F-POE appliances. It keeps the device supported throughout its deployment life: firmware and feature updates keep threat protection current, a hardware replacement program covers failed units (next-business-day advance replacement), and portal access gives your team the tools to open tickets and download software. It does not include telephone support or priority same-day RMA — those steps up are FortiCare Premium and Elite.

The FortiGate 80F-POE combines firewall, SD-WAN, and PoE power delivery in one unit, letting branch offices run IP cameras or wireless APs without a separate PoE switch. FortiCare Essential keeps its firmware current and ensures a replacement unit ships if the hardware fails.

FortiCare Support Tier Comparison

This product is the FortiCare Essential tier. The table below shows what each tier covers:

Feature Essential Premium Elite
Critical-issue response Next business day 4-hour callback 15-min callback
Telephone support
Hardware replacement program
Priority RMA add-on eligibility
Firmware updates, tools & portal
Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal

Who Buys This

Essential is the right fit for IT teams that have internal helpdesk capability and can wait for next-business-day replacement in a failure scenario. It suits branch offices, cost-conscious SMBs, or environments where the appliance is part of an HA pair (so a hardware swap is planned, not urgent). Organizations that rely on a single firewall with no failover, or that need direct Fortinet telephone response, typically move to FortiCare Premium.

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic subscription. After your order is confirmed, DataCenter360.ca delivers the license registration code by email, typically within the same business day. You activate it through the FortiGate’s GUI (System > FortiGuard) or the FortiCare portal at support.fortinet.com. There is no physical shipment.

Essential vs. a Full Service Bundle

If your FortiGate 80F-POE is still running without any active FortiGuard protection (URL filtering, IPS, AV, application control), a UTP or Enterprise bundle covers all of those services plus FortiCare Premium in a single SKU. FortiCare Essential alone keeps the hardware supported but does not activate the security subscription services. Consider the bundle if the firewall is currently unprotected and you want a single renewal to handle both.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner serving Canadian businesses. The FC-10-F80FP-314-02-12 is in stock and e-delivered the same business day. All three Essential terms — 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year — are available for the 80F-POE, and FortiCare Premium upgrades are one click away if you need telephone support added.

Is this a renewal or a new subscription?
FortiCare Essential can be purchased as a new license or as a renewal. Fortinet activates the term from the current support expiry date when renewing an active contract, so there is no gap in coverage.

Does FortiCare Essential include telephone support?
No. Essential covers firmware updates, hardware replacement (next-business-day), and portal support. Direct telephone response requires FortiCare Premium or Elite.

Can I use this subscription worldwide?
Yes. FortiCare is a global Fortinet service. The subscription activates against the serial number regardless of where the appliance is deployed. DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key electronically to any country.

What happens if my Essential subscription expires?
Fortinet continues to allow operation, but firmware updates and hardware replacement are suspended. Renewing before expiry keeps the contract active without a gap; retroactive renewals may incur a reinstatement fee.

How does Essential compare to upgrading to a UTP bundle?
FortiCare Essential covers hardware support only. A UTP bundle (FC-10-F80FP-950-02-12) adds FortiGuard IPS, AV, URL filtering, application control, and FortiCare Premium in a single subscription. If your 80F-POE is running without active threat-prevention services, the bundle is usually the better value.
