Fortinet FortiAP-432G FortiCare Elite Support, 5-Year (FC-10-P432G-284-02-60)

Pairing the FAP-432G with a 5-year FortiCare Elite contract is the appropriate choice when the hardware is part of a long-term infrastructure plan and wireless availability is non-negotiable. The 5-year term carries the lowest per-year cost across all Elite options and eliminates five annual renewal cycles while maintaining the highest available response SLA throughout.

What’s Covered for 60 Months

FC-10-P432G-284-02-60 registers five consecutive years of FortiCare Elite against one FAP-432G serial number. Coverage runs for the full term without renewal interruptions and includes: 1-hour P1 critical-issue response on a 24/7 schedule, 24/7 telephone TAC access with dedicated escalation, same-day hardware replacement on failure, firmware updates and bug fixes throughout the 5-year window, and full Fortinet Support Portal access for case management and knowledge resources.

FortiCare Tier Comparison

Understanding where Premium and Elite sit relative to Essential helps size the contract to actual operational requirements for the FAP-432G:

* Extended LTS support and monitoring portal are available for FortiGate models only.

Who This Is For

The 5-year Elite term targets organizations with a long equipment horizon and a strict wireless availability requirement. Permanent stadium or venue installations, large campus deployments tied to multi-year facility agreements, healthcare environments with 5-year capital plans, and enterprise networks where the FAP-432G is part of a fixed infrastructure build are the most common use cases. Multi-unit FortiAP fleet operators also use 5-year contracts to align expiry dates across units purchased over several procurement cycles.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-P432G-284-02-60 is delivered electronically, typically within one business day of purchase from DataCenter360.ca. Activate the license key in the Fortinet Support Portal using the FAP-432G serial number. The 5-year term begins from the activation date (or from an existing contract’s expiry if co-terming). Confirm the activation date at the time of registration to ensure the term starts correctly.

Other Terms

FortiCare Elite is also available in 1-year (FC-10-P432G-284-02-12) and 3-year (FC-10-P432G-284-02-36) terms. For deployments where same-day RMA and 1-hour response are not requirements, FortiCare Premium (FC-10-P432G-247-02-60 in a matching 5-year term) provides the next tier down with 4-hour response and next-business-day hardware replacement at a lower annual cost.
