Fortinet FortiGate 80F-POE FortiCare Elite Support, 3-Year (FC-10-F80FP-284-02-36)

FortiCare Elite for the FortiGate 80F-POE, three years, one transaction. FC-10-F80FP-284-02-36 activates the Elite support tier on your 80F-POE: 15-minute critical-issue response, a dedicated Technical Account Manager, the FortiCare Elite monitoring portal, and extended long-term software support. Compared to buying three consecutive annual contracts, the 3-year term cuts renewal overhead and locks in a fixed support cost for the duration.

FortiCare Tier Comparison

FortiCare Elite is the highest tier in Fortinet’s support structure. The table below shows what each tier covers for a FortiGate device.

Why 3 Years on the FortiGate 80F-POE

The 80F-POE is a dense-feature appliance: NGFW, SD-WAN, and four PoE+ ports in a 1U chassis. It tends to stay deployed for several years once it is in place, powering access-layer devices and handling WAN inspection simultaneously. A 3-year Elite contract matches that operational reality without the per-year cost of annual renewals. If your organization runs on a 3-year capital refresh cycle, this term also aligns support and hardware lifecycles, simplifying budget planning.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F80FP-284-02-36 is a standalone electronic subscription with no prerequisite contract required. After your order is confirmed, DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key by email, typically the same business day. You register the key in the FortiCare support portal against your FortiGate 80F-POE’s serial number. The 3-year term starts on the activation date you set during registration, not the purchase date.

Single License vs. Full Bundle

FortiGuard bundles (UTP, ATP, Enterprise) for the 80F-POE include FortiCare Premium but not Elite. If you are on a bundle and want Elite on top, this license stacks alongside it. If you have hardware only and want Elite support without the FortiGuard stack, this standalone subscription is the direct path. Consider adding FortiCloud (FC-10-F80FP-131-02-36, same 3-year term) for centralized log management and analytics alongside the Elite monitoring portal.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner and MSSP with the complete 80F-POE service portfolio in stock. Whether you are buying Elite alongside hardware, stacking it on an existing bundle, or sourcing it as a standalone renewal, we can verify the right SKU against your unit’s serial number before the order goes through. Licenses are delivered electronically to customers in any country, same business day in most cases.
