Fortinet FortiManager VM FortiGate-VM with FortiCare Premium Subscription, 4-Year (FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-48)

Some organizations plan infrastructure spend on 4-year cycles tied to fiscal budgets or hardware depreciation schedules. FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-48 matches that rhythm exactly, covering FortiManager VM management for up to 10 FortiGate-VM instances or vdoms across 48 months, with FortiCare Premium support bundled throughout, so the licensing term aligns with the financial planning horizon rather than running one year short or one year long.

What it covers

A 4-year subscription under FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-48 keeps FortiManager VM licensed to manage up to 10 FortiGate-VM devices or virtual domains for 48 consecutive months. FortiCare Premium support is bundled for the same period, covering 24×7 Fortinet TAC access, firmware and security content updates, and advanced replacement entitlement. The FortiManager VM console handles centralized policy management, configuration deployment, and log aggregation across all managed endpoints for the full term.

Who needs it

Organizations aligning software licensing to 4-year capital expense cycles, or those bridging from a shorter commitment to the 5-year maximum, find this term the right fit. Managed service providers building multi-year customer contracts also use it when their upstream license term needs to match downstream agreements that run on 4-year schedules rather than the more common 3-year or 5-year options.

Activation and delivery

FC1-10-FMGVS-258-01-48 is an electronic license. Fortinet delivers the activation key by email after purchase from DataCenter360.ca. Registration through the Fortinet Support Portal activates the 48-month subscription on the FortiManager VM instance. No physical hardware is involved at any stage. The license is available to buyers worldwide; no import process applies.

One service vs. the bundle

The 258 service code bundles the FortiManager VM platform subscription and FortiCare Premium into a single SKU and billing event. Over four years, consolidating these into one line item prevents the support entitlement from expiring on a different date than the platform license, which is a common source of coverage gaps when the two are purchased separately and renewed independently.
