Fortinet FortiManager VM FortiGate-VM with FortiCare Premium Subscription, 2-Year (FC2-10-FMGVS-258-01-24)

For cloud operations teams that have already validated FortiManager VM and want to avoid an annual renewal interruption, the 2-year FC2 bundle locks in management capacity and FortiCare Premium support for 100 FortiGate-VM devices without revisiting procurement until year three. FC2-10-FMGVS-258-01-24 is the natural next step after a successful 1-year pilot.

What it covers

This subscription licenses FortiManager VM for up to 100 FortiGate-VM devices or vdoms across a 24-month term. FortiCare Premium delivers 24×7 TAC support, firmware update access, and priority case handling for the full two years. Covered capabilities include centralized policy management, configuration audit trails, compliance reporting, and scheduled firmware deployment across all managed instances.

Who needs it

Enterprise teams and managed service providers that completed an initial 1-year deployment and want continuity without re-evaluating the platform annually. A 2-year term also suits organizations whose cloud infrastructure contracts run on 2-year renewal cycles, aligning FortiManager licensing with the underlying compute agreement.

Activation and delivery

Activation follows the same process as the 1-year SKU: Fortinet delivers the registration key electronically after purchase. Apply the key in the FortiManager VM license console and the managed device count updates immediately. The 24-month term starts from the registration date, not the purchase date.

One service vs the bundle

Buying FortiManager VM and FortiCare Premium as separate subscriptions means two renewal cycles over 24 months and two vendor purchase orders. The FMGVS-258 bundle removes that overhead by fixing both services to a single 2-year timeline, which also simplifies cost-center allocation at year-end reconciliation.
