Product description

FortiCare Elite is Fortinet’s top-tier hardware support and software servicing plan, and the FC-10-F81FP-284-02-60 covers five years of it on the FortiGate 81F-POE. When you know the device is going to be in the network for the long haul, locking in Elite coverage for the full run removes annual renewal overhead, eliminates the risk of a support lapse, and delivers a predictable multi-year cost.

What FortiCare Elite Includes

This subscription activates the Elite support tier on your FortiGate 81F-POE for 60 months. The table below shows how Elite compares to Essential and Premium across the key support dimensions.

Critical-issue response (Sev 1) 4 hours 1 hour 1 hour
24×7 telephone TAC
Hardware RMA Next business day Next business day Next business day
Priority RMA add-on eligibility
Firmware, tools & support portal
Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal

Why a 5-Year Term Makes Sense

Five-year Fortinet licensing suits environments with predictable hardware lifecycles, such as branch offices running the 81F-POE through a full device generation before refresh. Budget-holders get a fixed multi-year cost with no renewal overhead. IT teams get continuous LTS access throughout the device’s working life, which matters most in regulated or change-controlled networks where unplanned firmware upgrades are disruptive.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F81FP-284-02-60 is an electronic license. DataCenter360.ca delivers the key by email within one business day of purchase. Register it in the FortiCare portal against your FortiGate 81F-POE serial number to start the 60-month term. For renewals, Fortinet appends the term to the existing expiry date.

FortiCare Elite vs. a Full Bundle

FortiCare Elite covers hardware support and LTS firmware access. It does not include FortiGuard security services (IPS, web filtering, sandbox). If your organization needs both support and threat intelligence subscriptions in one contract, UTP or Enterprise bundle SKUs for the 81F-POE cover the full stack. FortiCare Elite alone is the right fit when FortiGuard runs on a separate contract cycle or is procured through a different channel.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

Multi-year Fortinet subscriptions through DataCenter360.ca come directly from the partner channel and register cleanly with Fortinet, backed by full partner support. We handle FortiCare licensing for Canadian organizations and ship electronically to customers worldwide. The FC-10-F81FP-284-02-60 is typically processed and delivered within one business day of purchase.

Does the 5-year term start from purchase date or registration date?
The term starts from the date you register the license key in the FortiCare portal. For renewals, Fortinet typically appends the new term to the existing expiry date, extending coverage forward.

What is the Elite monitoring portal?
The Elite monitoring portal gives Fortinet’s support team direct visibility into your device’s health and security posture. It enables faster diagnosis during support incidents and proactive issue detection outside normal TAC interactions.

Does this include hardware replacement coverage for the FortiGate 81F-POE?
Yes. FortiCare Elite includes next-business-day hardware RMA for the full 5-year term. For faster replacement options, pair this with a Priority RMA subscription (FC-10-F81FP-210-02-60).

Can I purchase this for an 81F-POE deployed outside Canada?
Yes. Fortinet subscriptions are delivered electronically and work regardless of device location. DataCenter360.ca fulfills orders internationally; the license arrives by email within one business day.

Is FortiCare Elite available for the non-POE FortiGate 81F?
Yes. FortiCare Elite for the standard FortiGate 81F uses the FC-10-0081F-284-series SKUs. Match the SKU to your specific model code when ordering.
