Sixty months of FortiCare Elite coverage on one purchase: FC-10-M426E-284-02-60 at $2,615.63 is the right choice for organizations that plan IT assets on a 5-year horizon and want to remove annual support renewal entirely from the maintenance calendar for their FortiSwitch M426E FPOE. It carries the lowest per-year cost of the three available Elite terms and requires no renewal action until the hardware approaches end-of-planned-life.
FortiCare Elite (service code 284) delivers 24×7 TAC access by phone and web portal, advance hardware replacement for the full 60-month period, all firmware and software updates Fortinet releases during the contract, and priority case queuing. Firmware access over five years is particularly relevant for the M426E FPOE: the FortiSwitch OS receives regular security and feature updates throughout a supported product’s life, and Elite coverage ensures access to every release without a separate entitlement check at each annual boundary.
The 5-year term fits three buyer profiles: capital-budget acquisitions where a multi-year support commitment is required at hardware purchase to satisfy procurement policy; organizations with a strict one-renewal-per-asset rule that want a single contract to cover the full planned operational life of the switch; and public-sector or enterprise teams whose IT refresh cycles align to 5-year windows and who prefer to amortize support costs evenly. At $523.13 per year, the 5-year term is also the most cost-efficient option when the device will remain in service for the full period.
FC-10-M426E-284-02-60 is an electronic license with no geographic restrictions. After payment confirmation, Fortinet issues an activation key to the email address on the order. Register that key against the FortiSwitch M426E FPOE serial number in the Fortinet Support portal, and the full 60-month Elite entitlement activates immediately. No physical shipment, no import clearance, and no Canadian address is required; this SKU is available to FortiSwitch owners anywhere in the world.
FortiSwitch M426E FPOE hardware often ships with a bundled 1-year or 3-year FortiCare contract. FC-10-M426E-284-02-60 either extends coverage after that bundle expires or, if the hardware arrived without bundled support, provides a full 5-year Elite entitlement from the outset. Unlike a bundled contract, this standalone SKU has no dependency on the original hardware transaction and can be purchased independently at any point in the switch’s lifecycle.

For deployments with multiple M426E units needing co-terminating 5-year contracts, we can issue a single consolidated quote covering all serial numbers under one purchase order.
