Fortinet FortiGate 80F-POE ATP Subscription, 3-Year (FC-10-F80FP-928-02-36)

Three years is the most common licensing cycle for branch PoE firewalls that sit on a mixed hardware refresh schedule — long enough to cover most of the unit’s useful life, short enough to re-evaluate service tier at the end of the term. The FC-10-F80FP-928-02-36 locks in IPS, Advanced Malware Protection, Application Control, and FortiCare Premium on the FortiGate 80F-POE for 36 months, at the mid-tier ATP price point, activated against the unit’s serial number and delivered electronically.

What the 3-Year ATP Subscription Includes

• IPS with Virtual Patching: Signature-based and AI/ML-driven deep-packet inspection blocks network exploits and applies FortiGuard emergency patches for newly published CVEs without waiting for a scheduled maintenance window.
• Advanced Malware Protection: Real-time antivirus plus FortiSandbox cloud integration for file-based threats. Covers both inbound downloads and outbound uploads crossing the firewall’s inspection engine.
• Application Control: Identifies and enforces policy on 5,000+ applications at the FG-80F-POE’s 1.4 Gbps IPS throughput, including apps running over encrypted connections.
• FortiCare Premium: 24×7 TAC access, firmware update entitlement, and hardware replacement coverage for the 36-month license duration.

ATP vs. UTP vs. Enterprise

Who Uses the 3-Year Term

Three-year ATP licensing fits two common scenarios. First, organizations that bought the FG-80F-POE hardware outright and want straightforward threat detection without the cost of web or email filtering — those functions handled by a cloud proxy, a DNS security layer, or a separate appliance. Second, IT teams running staggered hardware refresh cycles where a 3-year license term aligns with the unit’s planned replacement window, avoiding overlap with a future hardware-and-license bundle purchase.

Activation and Electronic Delivery

FC-10-F80FP-928-02-36 is a software-only SKU. DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration code electronically to the order email address, typically the same business day. Once entered on the FortiGate under System → FortiGuard, the 36-month term begins immediately and all four services come online. No hardware ships; no on-site visit is required.

Choosing Between 1-Year, 3-Year, and 5-Year ATP

The 3-year term costs less per year than renewing annually three times, and it reduces the renewal overhead from three license events to one. If the unit’s hardware plan extends beyond three years, the 5-year SKU (FC-10-F80FP-928-02-60) offers further savings and eliminates a renewal touchpoint entirely. If web filtering is on the roadmap, UTP 3-year (FC-10-F80FP-950-02-36) adds URL/DNS/Video Filtering and Antispam for a moderate price increment.
