Authorized Partner for United States (US)Sometimes a year is the right call. If you need to cover a FortiGate 81F for a defined twelve-month window, evaluate Elite before committing to a longer term, or bridge a gap in support coverage, FC-10-0081F-284-02-12 delivers the complete FortiCare Elite package for one year. Same 15-minute P1 SLA, same extended LTS access, same elite monitoring — just over a single annual term.
FortiCare Elite is the top tier in Fortinet’s support structure. This one-year subscription for the FortiGate 81F includes:
How FortiCare Elite compares to lower tiers:
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue (P1) response | Next business day | ≤ 1 hour, 24×7 | ≤ 15 min, 24×7 |
| Telephone support | Business hours | 24×7 | 24×7 |
| Hardware replacement (advance) | 10 business days | Next business day | Next business day |
| Priority RMA add-on eligibility | — | — | ✓ |
| Firmware, patches & support portal | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |
The one-year term suits specific deployment situations:
FC-10-0081F-284-02-12 is a software-only transaction. No hardware ships. The activation key and fulfillment instructions arrive electronically, typically the same business day, often sooner. You register the key in the Fortinet Support portal and assign it to your FortiGate 81F serial number. The one-year term begins at registration. The process takes a few minutes once you have the key in hand.
This subscription covers support, not security feeds. FortiGuard services — IPS signatures, URL filtering, application control updates — are bundled in UTP or Enterprise subscriptions, which include FortiCare Premium as the support tier. If you already have a bundle active and need to upgrade the support tier from Premium to Elite, you would add this subscription alongside it. If you are running the 81F without FortiGuard services and need support coverage only, this is a complete standalone contract.
DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner. All Fortinet licenses are in stock and ship the same day electronically. The 1-year Elite term is one line item with a clean renewal date twelve months out. If you want to discuss renewing into a multi-year term at the end of the year, that conversation is easy to have at renewal time.
Yes, the service level is identical across all term lengths. FortiCare Elite on the FortiGate 81F covers the same P1 response SLA, extended LTS firmware, elite monitoring, and Priority RMA add-on eligibility regardless of whether you purchase it for one, three, or five years. The only difference is the duration of coverage.
Yes. At renewal you can purchase another 1-year term or step up to a 3-year or 5-year term. Fortinet support contracts can be renewed without a lapse in coverage as long as you register the renewal key before the existing term expires. If there is a gap between the expiry and the renewal registration, coverage is interrupted during that period.
FortiCare Elite includes advance hardware replacement with next-business-day shipping. You contact Fortinet support, and they ship the replacement unit before receiving the failed one back. The replacement unit inherits the remaining coverage from the original contract. Priority RMA (same-day or next-day courier options) can be added as a separate subscription on top of Elite.
Yes. This is a software license delivered electronically. There are no geographic restrictions on where it can be ordered or activated. FC-10-0081F-284-02-12 works globally through the Fortinet Support portal, regardless of the country the order ships from or where the FortiGate 81F is physically deployed.
No. FortiCare Elite is a support contract, not a security service. It covers response SLAs, hardware replacement, firmware access, and the Elite monitoring portal. FortiGuard services such as IPS, URL filtering, and anti-malware signatures are separate subscriptions. If you need both, look at the UTP or Enterprise bundle SKUs for the FortiGate 81F, which bundle FortiGuard services with FortiCare Premium.
