FC-10-WP248-314-02-36 delivers three years of FortiCare Essential support for the FortiSwitch 248E-POE (FS-248E-POE) in a single purchase. Consolidating three annual renewals into one contract reduces procurement overhead, eliminates the risk of a missed yearly renewal, and spreads the support cost across a predictable three-year window. The FS-248E-POE provides 24 PoE+ ports across a 48-port GE chassis with a 370W budget, making it a practical choice for mixed-density deployments. This SKU is available as a renewal only and cannot be combined with a new hardware order.
FortiCare Essential (svc code 314) provides next-business-day response for critical issues, return-and-replace RMA for hardware failures, access to firmware updates, and use of Fortinet’s online support tools and asset management portal. The 3-year term means these entitlements remain continuously active without requiring an annual renewal action. The table below compares Essential against the Premium and Elite tiers available for the FS-248E-POE.

Organizations that have standardized on the FS-248E-POE and plan to keep it in service for the medium term will benefit from the 3-year term. The FS-248E-POE is designed for environments where partial PoE coverage is sufficient: 24 ports supply PoE+, leaving the remaining 24 as standard GE ports, which lowers the per-unit cost compared to the full-PoE FPOE variant. IT teams managing a predictable installed base of these switches can reduce support administration by aligning the contract term to their hardware lifecycle plan.
The license key is delivered electronically to the email address on the order, with worldwide delivery and no physical shipment. Activate by logging in to the Fortinet Support portal at support.fortinet.com, locating the registered FS-248E-POE asset, and applying the key to extend the entitlement by three years from the current expiry date. Store the key in your asset management records before activation in case re-entry is needed.
FC-10-WP248-314-02-36 is a support contract for the FS-248E-POE hardware only. It does not include FortiGuard security services. In a FortiLink-managed fabric environment, the upstream FortiGate carries the security subscriptions that govern threat feed access across the network. Check FortiGuard entitlements on that device separately. This renewal has no effect on any other license in your environment.
