Product description

Keeping a FortiSwitch 624F in active support does not require a multi-year commitment. FC-10-624FN-314-02-12 is a one-year FortiCare Essential renewal that restores firmware access and return-and-replace RMA eligibility for a single annual cycle, giving procurement teams the flexibility to reassess coverage at each budget period without locking in long-term spend.

What it covers

FortiCare Essential for the FortiSwitch 624F covers the fundamentals that keep a managed switch running without incident. During the one-year term, your switch remains eligible for all Fortinet firmware releases, giving you access to bug fixes, security patches, and platform improvements as they are published. The online asset portal and FortiCare web tools stay active, and if the hardware fails, Fortinet’s return-and-replace RMA process applies. Critical issues receive a next-business-day response from Fortinet’s TAC team.

What Essential does not include: direct telephone TAC access, advance hardware replacement, and priority RMA add-on eligibility. Those capabilities are available through FortiCare Premium or Elite.

Who needs it

This one-year term suits organizations that budget for network maintenance on an annual cycle and prefer not to pre-commit support spending beyond the current fiscal year. It is also the right choice when a FortiSwitch 624F is nearing the end of a longer support contract and needs a bridge renewal while longer-term infrastructure plans are still being finalized. Any organization worldwide that already owns the FS-624F hardware can renew with this SKU.

Note: FC-10-624FN-314-02-12 is a renewal contract and is not available at the time of initial hardware purchase.

Activation & delivery

This is an electronic license. After your order is confirmed, Fortinet generates an entitlement key that DataCenter360.ca delivers by email. You register the key against your FS-624F serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal, and the coverage period starts immediately. No physical shipment occurs. E-delivery works the same whether your switch is located in Canada, Europe, Asia, or anywhere else.

One service vs the bundle

FC-10-624FN-314-02-12 covers FortiCare Essential technical support only. It does not include FortiGuard security intelligence subscriptions or any additional FortiSwitch-specific threat prevention services. If your team requires intrusion prevention or DNS filtering alongside technical support, those are separate line items. The table below shows where Essential sits relative to Premium and Elite across the key support dimensions.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy FC-10-624FN-314-02-12 when I purchase a new FS-624F?
No. FortiCare Essential renewal contracts for the 624F series are available only for existing hardware already in service. Initial hardware purchases include a separate initial support period.
What happens if my FortiSwitch 624F support lapses before I renew?
Fortinet allows lapsed contracts to be renewed, but a reinstatement fee may apply for gaps in coverage. Renewing before expiry avoids that additional cost.
Does FortiCare Essential entitle me to major FortiSwitchOS version upgrades?
Yes. Active FortiCare Essential coverage includes access to all FortiSwitchOS firmware releases, including major version upgrades, for the full duration of the one-year term.
Is telephone TAC support included with FortiCare Essential?
No. Telephone TAC access is available with FortiCare Premium or Elite. Essential support is handled through Fortinet’s online TAC portal with a next-business-day response for critical issues.
How long does it take to receive the entitlement key after ordering?
DataCenter360.ca typically delivers the entitlement key by email within one business day of order confirmation. Delivery is electronic and is not dependent on your physical location.
