Product description

Aligning a three-year FortiCare Elite contract to the FS-624F matches the typical data center infrastructure refresh cycle and removes the annual renewal overhead that a year-by-year approach creates. FC-10-624FN-284-02-36 locks in 36 months of designated TAC coverage and Next Business Day hardware replacement under a single purchase, simplifying both IT budget planning and vendor contract management. For teams running 25GbE leaf-spine fabrics with a three-to-four-year planned service horizon, a misaligned annual renewal cadence is the most preventable source of support coverage gaps.

What it covers

FortiCare Elite is Fortinet’s highest support tier. For the full 36-month term, the FS-624F has 24×7 access to a designated Fortinet TAC team with enhanced SLA commitments that sit above those offered by the Premium tier’s shared queue. Next Business Day hardware replacement covers physical switch failure for the entire three years. Firmware updates and security patches from Fortinet’s support portal are also included under any active FortiCare contract.

Who needs it

Network engineers operating the FS-624F in production leaf-spine deployments where a failed switch affects multiple server or storage uplinks simultaneously. Organizations working on three-year capital budgets who want to align support expenditure directly to asset depreciation schedules. IT teams that have encountered the gap risk of an annual license lapsing over a year-end or holiday period will find 36-month coverage closes that window without requiring an annual renewal action.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-624FN-284-02-36 is an electronic license with no physical shipment. Fortinet issues the license key to your registered email address after the order is processed. You activate the key by registering it against the FS-624F serial number in the FortiCare portal or directly on the device. Delivery is worldwide; the North America (N) designation in the SKU (624FN) applies to the physical switch hardware model, not to the license entitlement, which carries no geographic restriction.

One service vs the bundle

FortiCare Elite (svc_code 284) is a dedicated support contract covering the FS-624F switch hardware and TAC entitlement for three years. It does not include FortiGuard threat intelligence, FortiCloud management, SD-WAN licensing, or any bundled security subscription. Security enforcement for traffic traversing the FS-624F runs through the FortiLink-connected FortiGate controller, which carries its own FortiCare and FortiGuard licenses. Purchase FC-10-624FN-284-02-36 specifically to cover the switch at the Elite support tier for the three-year term.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner with confirmed live stock on FC-10-624FN-284-02-36. Choosing the 3-year term consolidates support cost into a single budget line item and reduces renewal touchpoints to one event every three years instead of one per year. The license is available for immediate electronic delivery and can be ordered alongside the physical FS-624F, 1-year, or 5-year Elite terms to cover a mixed deployment in one purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Does the 3-year term start from the purchase date or the activation date?
FortiCare terms generally begin on the activation date when the license key is registered to the FS-624F serial number in the FortiCare portal, not the date of purchase. Activate promptly after ordering to maximize coverage.
If the FS-624F is replaced under Next Business Day coverage during the 3-year term, does the replacement unit inherit the remaining coverage?
Yes. Once Fortinet processes the hardware replacement, the replacement unit is tied to the same FortiCare Elite contract for the remainder of the 36-month term.
Can FC-10-624FN-284-02-36 be applied to an FS-624F unit purchased outside North America?
The license entitlement is worldwide and has no geographic restriction. The N suffix in 624FN designates the North America hardware SKU of the physical switch, not the coverage territory of the FortiCare license.
Does FortiCare Elite include access to Fortinet firmware updates for the FS-624F?
Yes. Any active FortiCare contract, including Elite, entitles the registered device to download firmware updates and security patches from Fortinet’s support portal for the duration of the term.
Is there a per-year cost advantage to purchasing the 3-year term versus three separate 1-year renewals?
Fortinet’s multi-year list pricing typically reflects a per-year cost benefit compared to purchasing three consecutive annual terms. Contact DataCenter360.ca for current pricing on the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year options.
