Fortinet FortiWiFi 71G FortiCare Premium Support, 1-Year (FC-10-FW71G-247-02-12)

Annual FortiCare Premium on the FortiWiFi 71G is a practical choice for organizations that renew support year by year, are evaluating a hardware upgrade at the next cycle, or want to keep contract terms flexible while the device is in service. A 1-year term still gives you the full tier of coverage — 24×7 telephone TAC and advanced replacement — without a multi-year financial commitment.

What FortiCare Premium covers

FortiCare Premium is the mid-tier Fortinet support contract. This 1-year subscription activates on registration and ties to the FortiWiFi 71G serial number. The table below shows what separates Essential, Premium, and Elite.

Who chooses the 1-year term

Organizations nearing a hardware lifecycle decision often buy 1-year renewals rather than committing to 3 or 5 years on aging hardware. Newer deployments sometimes start with a 1-year contract to validate the platform fit before locking in longer terms. Annual purchasing cycles tied to fiscal-year IT budgets are also a common driver for the 1-year SKU.

Activation and delivery

Delivery is electronic, within 0 to 1 business days, to any country. After purchase, you receive a Fortinet registration key by email and register it at support.fortinet.com to the specific unit serial number. No physical hardware ships; the subscription is applied globally through the FortiCare portal.

FortiCare Premium vs the full bundle

This subscription covers support, hardware replacement, and TAC access. FortiGuard threat services — intrusion prevention, URL filtering, advanced malware detection, and similar feeds — are sold separately or included in the UTP and Enterprise bundle tiers. If your FortiWiFi 71G needs both support and FortiGuard, review the UTP or Enterprise bundles, which include FortiCare Premium as a component at a combined price.
