Fortinet FortiGate 50G UTP Subscription, 3-Year (FC-10-GT50G-950-02-36)

Branch offices running a FortiGate 50G often reach the end of their first annual subscription and face a choice: renew year by year or commit to a longer term. The FC-10-GT50G-950-02-36 locks in three years of Unified Threat Protection at once, covering IPS, advanced malware protection, URL/DNS/video filtering, DLP, anti-spam, AI Inline Malware Prevention, and FortiCare Premium support through a single activation. Delivery is electronic to any country, with no hardware shipment required.

What the UTP Subscription Activates

This 3-year subscription activates or extends the full Unified Threat Protection bundle on a registered FortiGate 50G. The following services run simultaneously under one license key:

• Intrusion Prevention (IPS) with FortiGuard-updated signatures, botnet blocking, and malicious URL detection
• Advanced Malware Protection: antivirus, content disarm and reconstruction (CDR), and FortiSandbox Cloud analysis
• URL, DNS, and Video Filtering for web access control and acceptable-use policy enforcement
• Anti-Spam filtering to reduce phishing exposure on mail-capable deployments
• AI Inline Malware Prevention for real-time perimeter file scanning
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to block sensitive data from leaving the network
• Attack Surface Security: IoT device visibility and automated vulnerability assessment
• FortiCare Premium: 24×7 TAC access, firmware updates, and hardware RMA eligibility for the full 3-year term

What Is the UTP Bundle?

UTP (Unified Threat Protection) sits in the middle of the three FortiGuard subscription tiers. It adds anti-spam, DLP, and AI Inline Malware Prevention over the entry-level ATP bundle, but does not include OT Security, FortiAnalyzer Cloud, or SOCaaS managed monitoring that come with Enterprise Protection.

Who Buys This Subscription

Three-year UTP subscriptions are typical for organizations on a triennial IT budget cycle, for MSPs managing multiple FortiGate 50G units across client sites, and for IT teams that want to avoid the administrative overhead of annual renewals across a distributed fleet. The subscription is not tied to a physical location: a unit deployed at a branch office in any country can be covered under one order from DataCenter360.ca, and the 3-year term starts on the activation date, not the purchase date, so procurement and deployment timelines do not need to align exactly.

Activation and Delivery

After purchase, DataCenter360.ca sends the Fortinet license contract number by email, usually within the same business day. The contract is activated through the Fortinet support portal (support.fortinet.com) by linking it to the FortiGate 50G serial number. If the unit already carries an active subscription, the 3-year term stacks from the current expiry date rather than overwriting existing coverage. No physical hardware is shipped; the entire process is electronic and works for any country.

Term Options and Upgrade Path

If a 3-year commitment does not fit the current planning horizon, the 1-year UTP (FC-10-GT50G-950-02-12) and 5-year UTP (FC-10-GT50G-950-02-60) subscriptions are available. For sites with compliance logging requirements (PCI, HIPAA, PIPEDA), OT device visibility needs, or centralized policy management via FortiManager Cloud, the Enterprise 3-year subscription (FC-10-GT50G-809-02-36) adds those capabilities on top of everything UTP includes. DataCenter360.ca can provide a direct cost comparison between UTP and Enterprise before you commit.
