Product description

A 3-year FortiCare Elite commitment on the FortiGate 81F-POE typically costs less over the period than renewing annually, and it removes the risk of a support gap if a renewal slips through the cracks at year end. The FC-10-F81FP-284-02-36 locks in Elite-tier coverage for 36 months: 24×7 TAC, hardware RMA, the Extended LTS firmware tracks, and the Elite monitoring portal.

What FortiCare Elite Includes

Who Benefits from the 3-Year Term

Organizations planning to run their FortiGate 81F-POE through a standard 3-to-5-year hardware lifecycle and wanting to avoid annual renewal overhead. Branch and remote-site deployments fit this well: once the firewall is in place, multi-year support coverage keeps the device continuously protected without requiring a renewal touchpoint each year.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F81FP-284-02-36 is an electronic license. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca processes the order through the Fortinet partner portal and delivers your license key by email within one business day. Activate it in the FortiCare portal against your FortiGate 81F-POE serial number. The 36-month term starts from the date you register the key.

FortiCare Elite vs. a Full Bundle

FortiCare Elite covers hardware support and LTS firmware access. It does not include FortiGuard security subscriptions (IPS, web filter, sandbox). If you need support and FortiGuard services under one contract, a UTP or Enterprise bundle SKU covers the full stack. FortiCare Elite alone is the right choice when FortiGuard is purchased separately or renewed on a different cycle.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

Multi-year Fortinet licensing through DataCenter360.ca is sourced directly from the partner channel, so keys register cleanly and carry full Fortinet backing. We stock FortiCare subscriptions for Canadian organizations and ship electronically to customers worldwide. Most orders for the FC-10-F81FP-284-02-36 are processed and delivered within one business day.

When does the 3-year term start?
The term begins from the date you register the license key in the FortiCare portal. If you are renewing an existing contract, Fortinet typically appends the new term to the current expiry date rather than starting from purchase date.

What is Extended LTS support and who needs it?
Extended LTS (Long-Term Support) lets you stay on a stable firmware branch and receive critical security patches beyond Fortinet’s standard end-of-engineering-support date. It is particularly valuable in regulated environments or any deployment where unplanned firmware upgrades are disruptive.

Does FortiCare Elite on the 81F-POE include hardware RMA?
Yes. Next-business-day hardware replacement is included. For accelerated RMA options (same-day or 4-hour), you can add a Priority RMA subscription (FC-10-F81FP-210-02-36) on top of this contract.

Is this license available to customers outside Canada?
Yes. Fortinet subscriptions are electronic and deliverable worldwide. DataCenter360.ca processes international orders through the Fortinet partner channel; the key arrives by email within one business day.

Is a 3-year FortiCare Elite cheaper than renewing annually?
In most cases, yes. Multi-year Fortinet licensing typically offers a cost advantage over stacking single-year renewals. Contact DataCenter360.ca for a quote comparing term pricing if you want to see the numbers side by side.
