For organizations that plan to run the FortiSwitch 424E FPOE through its full operational life, FC-10-S424F-314-02-60 removes four annual renewal events in a single purchase. This 5-year FortiCare Essential contract covers firmware updates and next-business-day support from activation through year five, with the per-year cost lower than either the 1-year or 3-year Essential options at current list pricing.
The 5-year term is appropriate for IT environments with a long hardware lifecycle and low appetite for recurring procurement activity. The FortiSwitch 424E FPOE’s 24-port full-PoE architecture makes it a backbone switch in wireless or IP surveillance deployments where the hardware replacement cycle is measured in years. Finance and procurement teams that want to book multi-year support costs as a single budget line, and IT teams that prefer a set-and-forget renewal cadence, are the clearest fit for this term length.
FC-10-S424F-314-02-60 is fulfilled entirely electronically. Fortinet delivers the entitlement information by email after the order is processed, with no physical shipment and no media to track. The 5-year term is linked to the FS-424E-FPOE’s serial number at activation, and the term clock starts on the activation date. The contract is valid worldwide regardless of where the switch is installed, so global deployments are fully eligible. Because this is an electronic contract, delivery is available to customers in any country.
FortiCare Essential is a support and RMA contract, not a bundle that includes FortiGuard security subscriptions. The table below compares Essential, Premium, and Elite on the service dimensions relevant to the FS-424E-FPOE. Review it before selecting a tier for a 5-year commitment, since changing tiers mid-term requires a separate upgrade arrangement.

DataCenter360.ca carries FC-10-S424F-314-02-60 as a Fortinet Select Partner with worldwide electronic delivery. This is the longest FortiCare Essential term available for the FortiSwitch 424E FPOE and is the right choice when the hardware will be in service for five or more years. If your procurement policy caps multi-year commitments at three years, the 3-year SKU (FC-10-S424F-314-02-36) is on its own product page. For support requirements that go beyond Essential, including telephone access or advanced hardware replacement, use the quote form to discuss Premium or Elite options and the cost difference from this term length.
