Fortinet FortiMail-VM Base Bundle Subscription, 1-Year (FC5-10-FEVVS-646-02-12)

Keeping a 16-vCPU FortiMail-VM operational and continuously protected requires an active Base Bundle subscription. This 1-year term covers FortiGuard Antispam, Antivirus, and FortiCare support for the FC5 VM-size tier, ensuring the virtual gateway receives threat-intelligence updates whether it is deployed on VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, or a public cloud platform such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

Overview

The Base Bundle subscription for FortiMail-VM at the FC5 tier (16 vCPU) combines three entitlements into a single annual renewal. FortiGuard Antispam maintains current spam-sender reputation data and signature blocks to filter inbound traffic at the gateway level. FortiGuard Antivirus inspects inbound and outbound message content against Fortinet’s malware feed to detect malicious payloads before they reach end users. FortiCare technical support provides access to Fortinet support engineers for the life of the term, covering issue escalation and configuration guidance. Without an active subscription the FortiMail-VM cannot pull updated threat definitions and the support entitlement lapses immediately upon expiry. The FC5 tier is engineered for enterprise-scale email volumes and the subscription is entirely electronic, with no physical hardware associated with this SKU.

Who it suits

This subscription is the right fit for enterprise IT and security operations teams running a 16-vCPU FortiMail-VM that manage subscriptions on an annual cycle. It is also appropriate for organizations evaluating FortiMail-VM at the FC5 capacity tier before committing to a longer term, or for procurement teams whose approval workflows require year-by-year renewals. Teams that prefer flexibility to reassess vendor contracts annually will find the 1-year cadence practical at this VM-size tier.
