Fortinet FortiManager VM FortiGate-VM with FortiCare Premium Subscription, 1-Year (FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-12)

When a virtual firewall deployment is still being validated, locking into a multi-year subscription before the architecture is proven adds unnecessary risk. FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-12 covers a full year of centralized FortiGate-VM management under FortiManager VM, with FortiCare Premium support included, giving your team time to confirm the design before committing to a longer term.

What it covers

This subscription activates FortiManager VM to manage up to 10 FortiGate-VM instances or virtual domains (vdoms) for one year. FortiCare Premium is bundled for the full period, providing 24×7 Fortinet TAC access, firmware and security content updates, and advanced replacement entitlement. All managed endpoints are administered through a single FortiManager VM console for centralized policy management, configuration deployment, and log aggregation.

Who needs it

Organizations piloting a virtual firewall architecture, or running environments with up to 10 FortiGate-VM nodes, find the 1-year term practical when annual budget cycles drive licensing decisions. Managed service providers evaluating FortiManager VM before standardizing on a longer commitment also use this SKU to limit initial cost while validating the management platform.

Activation and delivery

FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-12 is an electronic license. After purchase, Fortinet delivers the activation key by email. Registration on the Fortinet Support Portal links the subscription to your FortiManager VM instance and starts the 12-month term. No hardware ships. The license is available to buyers worldwide through DataCenter360.ca.

One service vs. the bundle

The 258 service code bundles two entitlements into one SKU: the FortiManager VM platform subscription and FortiCare Premium support. Purchasing them as separate line items would require tracking two independent renewal dates. This SKU consolidates both into a single annual term, reducing procurement overhead and eliminating the risk of one entitlement lapsing before the other.
