Product description

Five years of continuous coverage on a FortiGate 70G keeps the device in a supported state for a full deployment cycle without annual renewal overhead. FC-10-GT70G-314-02-60 is a single-unit FortiCare Essential contract at the Essential tier: firmware entitlement, access to Fortinet’s online support and knowledge base, FortiCare asset portal registration, and return-and-replace RMA if the hardware fails. This is a subscription license delivered electronically, no hardware included.

What FortiCare Essential covers

Essential is the entry service tier. It gives the registered unit entitlement to FortiOS firmware and security patch releases as Fortinet publishes them, access to web-based technical support and the online knowledge base, registration in the FortiCare asset management portal, and return-and-replace RMA coverage. Response time on critical issues is next business day. There is no telephone support or advanced hardware replacement at this tier — those are FortiCare Premium features.

FortiCare tiers at a glance

FortiCare comes in three service levels. This contract is the Essential tier; the table shows how the three compare so you can confirm it fits, or step up if you need faster response.

Who buys the 5-Year term

Branch offices and distributed sites that standardize on a five-year hardware refresh cycle benefit most from this term. A single purchase covers the full useful life of the appliance, locking in current pricing and eliminating the risk of a lapsed support window. IT teams managing many remote 70G units often choose the 5-year contract to reduce the number of annual renewal tasks on the calendar. If the site carries mission-critical traffic, consider stepping up to FortiCare Premium for 1-hour telephone response and advanced hardware replacement instead.

Activation and delivery

Delivery is electronic, to any country, normally within 0 to 1 business days of order confirmation. You receive a contract number that you register against the FortiGate 70G serial number in the Fortinet FortiCare portal. Coverage activates immediately upon registration. Nothing ships physically.

Essential, Premium, or a full bundle

Three ways to cover this unit. FortiCare Essential (this contract) provides support only: firmware access, web support, and return-and-replace RMA. FortiCare Premium adds telephone response, 1-hour SLA, and advanced replacement. A UTP or Enterprise subscription bundle layers FortiGuard AI-powered threat services — IPS, AV, URL filtering, application control — on top of Premium-level FortiCare. If the FortiGate 70G carries traffic that depends on active threat inspection, a bundle is a better starting point than Essential alone.

DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner and carries the complete FortiGate 70G license catalog, including all three Essential terms. Orders are processed electronically and delivered to any country, normally within one business day. The contract number is registered in the FortiCare portal against your 70G serial once you receive it. Fortinet’s global support infrastructure handles the contract after registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FC-10-GT70G-314-02-60 include?

It includes five years of FortiCare Essential for a single FortiGate 70G: firmware entitlement, web-based technical support, FortiCare portal registration, and return-and-replace RMA. Telephone support and advanced replacement are not part of the Essential tier.

Is FortiCare Essential the same as Premium?

No. Essential provides next-business-day response on critical issues and return-and-replace RMA. Premium adds 1-hour critical response, telephone support, and advanced (next-day) hardware replacement. Both include firmware updates and portal access.

Can I buy a 5-year contract on a unit that is already in service?

Yes. You register the contract against the hardware serial in the FortiCare portal. Coverage begins at registration regardless of when the unit was originally deployed. There is no hardware-age restriction on Essential renewals.

What happens to my 70G if the Essential contract lapses?

The device keeps its last-installed firmware but loses entitlement to new FortiOS releases and patches. RMA coverage also ends. Renewing quickly avoids a gap in firmware entitlement.

Should I choose Essential or a bundle subscription for my 70G?

FortiCare Essential (this product) is support-only and keeps your device maintained. A UTP or Enterprise subscription bundle adds FortiGuard AI-powered threat intelligence services on top of the FortiCare coverage. If your site runs only firewall policies without advanced FortiGuard features, Essential is sufficient; if you rely on IPS, content filtering, or AV, a bundle is a better fit.
