United States (US) Authorized DistributorThree-year support terms hit a practical balance: long enough to cover a hardware refresh cycle and lock in predictable costs, short enough to avoid committing beyond the device’s likely service life. For the FortiGate 50G-DSL running as a branch firewall on a fixed DSL line, the FC-10-F50GD-314-02-36 delivers that balance with three years of FortiCare Essential coverage.
FortiCare Essential provides the core support layer for FortiGate hardware. With this subscription active, your FortiGate 50G-DSL has ticket-based access to Fortinet’s Technical Assistance Center, rights to firmware and feature updates throughout the term, and access to the FortiCare portal for license and service management. Telephone support (24×7) and advance hardware replacement are not part of Essential; both fall under Premium and above.
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 | — | — | ✓ |
Three-year Essential coverage fits organizations that have internal IT capacity for ticket-based TAC escalations and want to align support spend with hardware depreciation cycles. It is a common choice for DSL branch sites that are not mission-critical but still need active firmware maintenance and security intelligence access over the mid-term. For sites where hardware failure means branch outage, FortiCare Premium or a bundle with Premium included is a stronger option.
The FC-10-F50GD-314-02-36 is a software entitlement with no hardware to ship. Fortinet delivers an activation key electronically after order confirmation. You register it in the FortiCare or FortiCloud portal, associate it with the serial number of your FortiGate 50G-DSL, and coverage begins. DataCenter360.ca processes orders within 0-1 business days. Activation on the Fortinet portal is a quick self-service step.
FortiCare Essential covers support only. Running FortiGuard services such as IPS or Web Filtering on the same appliance requires separate FortiGuard subscriptions, or a bundle that combines everything. The UTP subscription (FC-10-F50GD-950-02-12) and Enterprise subscription (FC-10-F50GD-809-02-12) roll FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard services into a single annual SKU. If you are licensing services separately today, compare total cost against a bundle before renewing.
DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner and MSSP. Orders for the FC-10-F50GD-314-02-36 are delivered electronically within one business day. Three years of Essential coverage means fewer renewal cycles and a predictable cost over the mid-term.
