Fortinet FortiGate 50G FortiCare Elite Support, 5-Year (FC-10-GT50G-284-02-60)

A 5-year FortiCare Elite contract on a FortiGate 50G reflects a clear plan: keep this firewall in production for the long haul with top-tier support in place. The FC-10-GT50G-284-02-60 delivers five full years of 24/7 telephone and web support, advance hardware replacement, 15-minute critical-incident response, firmware updates through the Fortinet Support Portal, and access to the Elite monitoring portal from activation through the end of the term. FortiGuard threat feeds are licensed separately.

What FortiCare Elite Covers

FortiCare Elite is the top-tier hardware support contract for your FortiGate 50G, covering the full 5-year term at Elite level from day one. The table below compares what each FortiCare tier includes:

Who Buys This

Organizations planning an extended deployment cycle for the FortiGate 50G, particularly those in regulated industries where firmware access and incident SLA must be documented and maintained consistently. A 5-year Elite commitment eliminates annual renewal overhead and locks in the top support tier for the device’s expected service life. Also suited to environments running FortiOS on extended LTS branches where continuous access to Fortinet’s engineering support is a compliance requirement.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-GT50G-284-02-60 is an electronic license. After your order is confirmed, the Fortinet contract key is delivered by email within 0–1 business days. Activate through the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com by applying the key to your FortiGate 50G serial number under Asset Management. The 5-year term begins at activation. No hardware ships.

FortiCare Elite vs. a FortiGuard Subscription Bundle

FortiCare Elite covers hardware support and care for the FortiGate 50G over 5 years. It does not include FortiGuard threat feeds such as IPS, antivirus, web filtering, or application control. If the device also needs threat intelligence coverage, those services are available through a separate FortiGuard subscription bundle. FortiCare Elite is the right pick when FortiGuard coverage is already handled and the goal is securing the best available hardware support tier for the full deployment term.
