United States (US) Authorized DistributorAnnual renewals suit procurement teams that prefer flexibility: the ability to reassess support tiers, change coverage levels, or align renewals with hardware refresh decisions each year. The FC-10-F50GD-314-02-12 covers one year of FortiCare Essential support for the FortiGate 50G-DSL, giving a DSL branch firewall an active TAC relationship, firmware access, and portal management for the next 12 months.
FortiCare Essential is the entry-level support tier for Fortinet hardware. With this subscription on your FortiGate 50G-DSL, you have ticket-based access to Fortinet TAC, the ability to download firmware updates and new features as they release, and full access to the FortiCare portal for license registration and FortiGuard service management. Telephone support and advance hardware replacement are not included. Those are part of FortiCare Premium and Elite.
This product is the FortiCare Essential tier. The table below shows how the three FortiCare support levels compare for FortiGate hardware:
| Support Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ticket-based TAC support | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Telephone support (24×7) | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Advance hardware replacement (RMA) | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Priority RMA add-on eligibility | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware updates, tools and portal access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support and Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |
Annual Essential coverage is a common fit for IT teams that manage a mix of site priorities and want to keep options open. Lower-priority DSL branch sites often carry Essential while primary sites run Premium. Annual renewals also work well when hardware lifecycle planning is still in flux, such as when a device might be retired or replaced within the next few years. For any DSL branch where downtime has significant business impact, FortiCare Premium is worth the additional cost.
The FC-10-F50GD-314-02-12 is a software license, delivered electronically. After order confirmation, Fortinet issues an activation key that you register in the FortiCare or FortiCloud portal against the FortiGate 50G-DSL serial number. DataCenter360.ca processes and delivers within 0-1 business days. Renewing before your current contract expires maintains continuity without a coverage gap.
FortiCare Essential covers support and maintenance only. FortiGuard security feeds (IPS, Web Filtering, DNS Filtering, etc.) need to be licensed separately or bundled. If your FortiGate 50G-DSL runs active security profiles, compare the total cost of stacking individual licenses against a UTP bundle (FC-10-F50GD-950-02-12) or Enterprise bundle (FC-10-F50GD-809-02-12) before each annual renewal. Bundles often make more sense at the 1-year level where flexibility is valued but cost efficiency still matters.
DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner and MSSP. Annual renewals for the FC-10-F50GD-314-02-12 are processed and delivered electronically within one business day. Keep the renewal date on file and order before the contract lapses to avoid a coverage gap. Our team can check your existing contract status or help compare tiering options before you commit.
