Fortinet FortiGate 901G FortiCare Premium Support, 3-Year (FC-10-FG9H1-247-02-36)

Three years is long enough to justify writing annual support costs out of the budget cycle, and short enough to leave a hardware refresh option open at the end of the term. For a FortiGate 901G deployed in a logging or compliance role — where the 2x 480 GB SSDs are earning their place — a 3-year FortiCare Premium subscription keeps TAC access and advance replacement aligned with the appliance’s productive life without committing to a 5-year horizon.

What This License Covers

FortiCare Premium covers the support and hardware logistics side of owning a FortiGate 901G. It does not include FortiGuard threat-intelligence feeds, which are purchased separately or as part of a bundle. The focus here is uptime: a 24×7 TAC channel, a 1-hour Sev-1 response target, and advance hardware replacement for the full 3-year term. The table below places Premium in context against the Essential and Elite tiers.

Who Needs This Subscription

Mid-enterprise and managed-service environments that have deployed the FortiGate 901G as a primary inspection and logging appliance and need a defined support window. A 3-year term is suitable for organizations on 3-year budget cycles, those that need to align support expiry with another contract on the same hardware, or teams that want the pricing stability of a multi-year commitment without the full 5-year lock-in.

Activation and Delivery

After payment confirmation, DataCenter360.ca issues the registration key electronically, typically within one business day. Activate in the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com against the FortiGate 901G serial number. Coverage begins on the activation date and runs for three years. Delivery is worldwide and fully electronic — no physical component is involved.

FortiCare Premium vs. the Full Bundle

This SKU covers support and RMA only. The FortiGuard feeds that power IPS, antivirus, web filtering, and application control are not included. If your 901G deployment requires active threat inspection, the UTP bundle (FC-10-FG9H1-950-02-36) or Enterprise bundle (FC-10-FG9H1-809-02-36) combines FortiCare Premium with the relevant FortiGuard services in one subscription, usually at a lower cost than assembling the same coverage from individual SKUs over a 3-year term.
