Three-year support terms align with how most IT departments budget and plan network infrastructure. FC-10-W0300-284-02-36 covers your FortiSwitch 224E for a full 36-month cycle , one purchase, one activation, and uninterrupted FortiCare Elite coverage through the period. At $398.25, the 3-year contract works out to approximately $132.75 per year, compared to $149.34 if you renew the 1-year term three times, saving roughly $49 over the same period while eliminating two renewal touchpoints.
FortiCare Elite (service code 284) is the highest support tier Fortinet offers for switch hardware. This 3-year contract for the FS-224E provides 36 months of 24×7 TAC access, advanced hardware replacement with next-business-day or better advance RMA dispatch, all FortiSwitchOS firmware releases and security patches published during the term, and priority handling over lower-tier contracts. Coverage is bound to the serial number of one FortiSwitch 224E unit , the 24-port GE + 4x SFP non-PoE managed switch.
This SKU suits IT teams deploying the FortiSwitch 224E as part of a stable, multi-year access-layer architecture. Organizations that align licensing and support spend to three-year budget cycles avoid the overhead of annual renewals and reduce the risk of an accidental lapse. It is also a practical fit when the switch is part of a FortiLink-managed fabric where continuous hardware support matters for compliance documentation or internal SLA commitments.
FC-10-W0300-284-02-36 is an electronic entitlement with no physical shipment. Fortinet delivers the license key by email after purchase, typically within one business day. Register the key against your FS-224E serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) to start the 36-month coverage period. Because delivery is fully digital, this license ships to buyers worldwide with no geographic restriction.
Code 284 covers support and hardware replacement only. FortiGuard threat intelligence, network access control subscriptions, and FortiCloud management are separate purchases not included in this contract. A 3-year Elite commitment ensures the FS-224E hardware remains replacement-eligible and firmware-current for the full period, independent of security subscription decisions made at the gateway level. If you are running FortiGuard services on the upstream FortiGate, those renew on their own schedule and are unaffected by this contract.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner. Purchasing the 3-year term locks in Elite coverage at approximately $132.75 per year , about $49 less than three consecutive 1-year renewals for the same switch. Orders are processed online with worldwide electronic delivery. If you are consolidating support renewals across multiple FortiSwitch 224E units or aligning contract end dates for your FS-224E fleet, contact us before placing the order so we can coordinate activation timing.
