Product description

Five years is the coverage window you select when a deployment is stable and long-term. The FortiGate 50G-DSL is built for that kind of site: a fixed-line DSL branch with consistent WAN access and an established network footprint. Locking in five years of FortiCare Essential with the FC-10-F50GD-314-02-60 means one procurement cycle for the entire coverage period and no annual renewal reminders until the term expires.

What FortiCare Essential Covers

FortiCare Essential is the base support tier for Fortinet hardware. With the FC-10-F50GD-314-02-60 active on your FortiGate 50G-DSL, you receive ticket-based access to Fortinet’s Technical Assistance Center, rights to download firmware and feature updates, and portal access for license and FortiGuard service management. The tier does not include telephone support or advance hardware replacement. 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

Who Uses This Subscription

Five-year Essential contracts are common for DSL branch sites managed by IT teams with internal troubleshooting capacity. Long-term coverage is attractive when hardware EoL timelines are known and the unit will be in service for the full term. Organizations running a FortiGate 50G-DSL as the sole branch firewall should evaluate whether the lack of RMA in Essential is an acceptable risk, or whether stepping up to a Premium-tier bundle is warranted.

Activation and Delivery

The FC-10-F50GD-314-02-60 is a software entitlement delivered electronically. After placing the order, Fortinet issues an activation key that you register in the FortiCare or FortiCloud portal against the FortiGate 50G-DSL serial number. DataCenter360.ca processes orders within 0-1 business days. Activation on the Fortinet portal takes a few minutes and no physical installation is required.

Essential vs. a Full Bundle

FortiCare Essential covers support and maintenance only; it does not include FortiGuard security subscriptions. If the FortiGate 50G-DSL is also running IPS, Web Filtering, or other threat protection, those services need separate FortiGuard licenses, or you can consolidate with a multi-year UTP bundle (FC-10-F50GD-950-02-12) or Enterprise bundle (FC-10-F50GD-809-02-12) that combine FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard services into a single annual or multi-year SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FortiCare Essential include for the FortiGate 50G-DSL?
Essential covers ticket-based TAC support, firmware and feature update rights, and FortiCare portal access for license management. Telephone support (24×7) and advance hardware replacement (RMA) require FortiCare Premium or higher.

Why choose a 5-year term for FortiCare Essential?
A 5-year term locks in coverage cost for the full expected lifecycle of the hardware, eliminates annual renewal cycles, and simplifies procurement. It is best suited to stable, long-term branch deployments where the FortiGate 50G-DSL will remain in service for the duration.

Does this 5-year subscription include hardware replacement?
No. FortiCare Essential does not include advance hardware replacement (RMA), regardless of term length. RMA coverage requires FortiCare Premium. If hardware swap protection is needed over the 5-year window, consider a Premium or bundle SKU instead.

Does FortiCare Essential cover FortiGuard security subscriptions?
No. FortiCare is a support and maintenance contract only. FortiGuard threat intelligence (IPS, Web Filtering, AntiVirus, etc.) requires separate service subscriptions. For bundled coverage, look at the UTP or Enterprise subscription bundles for the FortiGate 50G-DSL.

How is the FC-10-F50GD-314-02-60 delivered, and is it available outside Canada?
This is a software license delivered electronically. DataCenter360.ca ships the activation key within 0-1 business days to customers worldwide. Registration is completed through the Fortinet FortiCare portal tied to the FortiGate 50G-DSL serial number.
