Product description

FortiCare Elite is Fortinet’s top-tier hardware support and software servicing plan, and the FC-10-F81FP-284-02-12 covers one year of it on the FortiGate 81F-POE. Beyond what Premium offers, Elite adds the monitoring portal and extended firmware support tracks, making it the right choice for environments where the firewall carries critical traffic and firmware end-of-support timing is not acceptable to manage reactively.

What FortiCare Elite Includes

This subscription activates the Elite support tier on your FortiGate 81F-POE for 12 months. The table below compares all three FortiCare tiers. This product is the Elite column.

Who Uses FortiCare Elite on the 81F-POE

The FortiGate 81F-POE is typically deployed at branch offices and remote sites that need integrated PoE for IP phones or access points alongside next-generation firewall capabilities. FortiCare Elite suits teams that need Extended LTS flexibility, particularly those running stable firmware branches and unwilling to take unplanned upgrades, and those that want Fortinet’s monitoring portal as a second layer of operational visibility into the device.

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic subscription. After your order is confirmed, DataCenter360.ca processes it through the Fortinet partner portal and you receive your license key by email within one business day. Activation is completed in the FortiCare portal by attaching the key to your FortiGate 81F-POE’s serial number. No hardware is shipped.

FortiCare Elite vs. a Full Bundle

FortiCare Elite covers hardware support and LTS firmware access. It does not include FortiGuard security services (IPS signatures, web filtering, sandboxing). If you also need FortiGuard services, consider subscription bundles (UTP or Enterprise) that combine support and FortiGuard in a single SKU. FortiCare Elite alone is for organizations that purchase FortiGuard separately or in a different contract cycle.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca sources Fortinet subscriptions through the official partner channel, so every license key is genuine and directly registerable with Fortinet. As a Fortinet Select Partner, we handle FortiCare licensing for Canadian businesses and international customers alike. The FC-10-F81FP-284-02-12 ships electronically; most orders are ready within one business day of purchase.

Can I buy FortiCare Elite without having FortiCare Premium first?
Yes. The 284-series SKU is a standalone FortiCare Elite subscription, not an upgrade. You can apply it directly to a FortiGate 81F-POE with no current FortiCare contract, or use it to renew at the Elite tier.

What is Extended LTS support and why does it matter?
Extended LTS lets you stay on a stable firmware branch and receive critical security patches after Fortinet’s standard end-of-engineering-support date. This is important for change-controlled environments that cannot accept unplanned OS upgrades.

Does FortiCare Elite include hardware RMA for the FortiGate 81F-POE?
Yes. FortiCare Elite includes next-business-day hardware replacement. For same-day or 4-hour options, you can add a Priority RMA subscription (FC-10-F81FP-210-02-12) on top of this contract.

Is this delivered to countries outside Canada?
Yes. Fortinet subscriptions are delivered electronically worldwide. DataCenter360.ca ships licenses internationally; your key arrives by email or in the Fortinet support portal within one business day.

What is the difference between FortiCare Premium and FortiCare Elite on the 81F-POE?
Both tiers provide 24×7 TAC, 1-hour critical-issue response, and hardware RMA. Elite adds the Fortinet Elite monitoring portal and Extended LTS firmware support tracks, the key additions for teams that need long-term firmware stability or active monitoring visibility from Fortinet’s side.
