Product description

A single 5-year FortiCare Premium contract locks in 24×7 TAC coverage and advanced hardware replacement for the FortiSwitch-448E-POE through an entire deployment cycle. At a higher per-year value than shorter terms, FC-10-S448P-247-02-60 is the right choice for organizations that treat their switching infrastructure as a fixed asset and want to avoid repeated annual renewals.

What FortiCare Premium Delivers Over Five Years

FortiCare Premium provides telephone and web TAC access around the clock, a 1-hour committed response on critical Severity 1 tickets, and next-business-day advanced hardware replacement throughout the contract term. Firmware updates, the Fortinet support portal, and asset lifecycle tracking are included for the full 5-year period. Premium also qualifies the switch for the Priority (Improved) RMA add-on if faster depot service is needed at any point during the term.

Who Benefits from a 5-Year Term

Organizations running PoE access switches in long-lived campus deployments — conference rooms, wiring closets, manufacturing floors — typically hold switches for five to seven years. A 5-year contract eliminates the annual renewal conversation and simplifies budget forecasting. Procurement teams and MSPs running FortiLink-managed stacks often prefer a single multi-year entitlement over stacking shorter contracts year after year.

Activation and Electronic Delivery

Entitlement is delivered electronically by email within 0-1 business days. Register the contract against your FortiSwitch-448E-POE serial number at support.fortinet.com. The 5-year window opens on the activation date and is tracked through the Fortinet asset portal. No physical shipment is required, and this contract is valid in any country.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

FortiCare contracts through DataCenter360.ca are fulfilled directly from Fortinet’s authorized distribution channel. The 5-year FS-448E-POE FortiCare Premium (FC-10-S448P-247-02-60) is in stock and ships electronically, usually within one business day. As a Fortinet Select Partner, DataCenter360.ca ensures the entitlement is TAC-recognized from day one.

Is the 5-year contract priced better per year than buying 1-year contracts repeatedly?
Multi-year FortiCare terms are typically discounted compared to renewing annually. The exact difference depends on list price at the time of each renewal, so locking in a 5-year rate can hedge against future price increases.

What happens if I replace the switch before the 5-year term ends?
FortiCare contracts are tied to the device serial number. If the switch is replaced under an RMA, Fortinet transfers the entitlement to the replacement unit. For other decommission scenarios, contact Fortinet TAC or DataCenter360.ca to discuss re-assignment options.

Can I upgrade from Premium to Elite partway through a 5-year contract?
Yes. Fortinet offers mid-term upgrade paths from Premium to Elite. A separate upgrade SKU (FC-10-S448P-204-02-xx) covers the remaining contract period. Contact DataCenter360.ca for a quote.

Does this contract cover all models in the 448E series?
No. FC-10-S448P-247-02-60 applies specifically to the FortiSwitch-448E-POE. The non-POE FS-448E and the full-POE FS-448E-FPOE each carry distinct FortiCare SKUs with different model codes.

Is this contract available worldwide?
Yes. FortiCare service contracts carry no regional restrictions. This license can be activated on a FortiSwitch-448E-POE in any country and is delivered electronically to any location.
