Annual support contracts make sense when your switch deployment is still being sized, or when procurement prefers a year-by-year commitment before locking into a longer term. FC-10-W0300-284-02-12 keeps your FortiSwitch 224E covered for 12 months under Fortinet’s highest support tier, with no gap in TAC availability or firmware entitlement during that period. At $149.34, it is the lowest-entry option for Elite coverage on the FS-224E , useful for organizations evaluating the tier before committing to a multi-year agreement.
FortiCare Elite (service code 284) is Fortinet’s top support level for switch hardware. This 1-year contract for the FS-224E includes 24×7 access to Fortinet’s Technical Assistance Center (TAC), advanced hardware replacement with next-business-day or better RMA dispatch, all FortiSwitchOS firmware releases and security patches published during the 12-month term, and elevated support priority over lower-tier contracts. Coverage is bound to the serial number of a single FortiSwitch 224E unit , the 24-port GE + 4x SFP non-PoE managed switch.
This SKU fits IT managers running a FortiSwitch 224E who prefer annual renewal cycles, organizations that rotate or redeploy access-layer hardware on roughly a yearly schedule, or teams trialing Elite-tier support before making a multi-year commitment. It is also a practical choice when a switch was deployed mid-year and aligning a short first-term contract to an annual renewal date simplifies future procurement.
FC-10-W0300-284-02-12 is an electronic entitlement , no physical shipment occurs. After purchase, Fortinet delivers the license key by email, typically within one business day. You register the key against your FS-224E serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com), and the 12-month coverage period begins immediately on activation. Because delivery is fully digital, this license is available to buyers worldwide with no geographic restriction.
FortiCare Elite (code 284) is a support and hardware replacement contract only , it does not include FortiGuard security subscriptions, network access control intelligence, or FortiCloud management licenses. If your FS-224E operates in a FortiLink-managed topology, the FortiGate upstream handles centralized policy enforcement under its own licenses. This Elite contract ensures the switch hardware and firmware stay supported and replacement-eligible, independent of which security services you run at the gateway.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner. The 1-year term is the right starting point if your team wants to experience Elite-tier RMA and TAC priority before committing further. Place the order online, receive the activation key, and register before your current support window closes. If you are comparing the 1-year rate against the 3-year or 5-year options, our team can walk through the per-year cost difference across all three terms for the FS-224E.
