Fortinet FortiCare Premium Support, 5-Year (FC3-10-0ACVM-248-02-60)

A five-year FortiCare Premium Support contract is the longest available term for a FortiAuthenticator VM deployment, meaning five years with no renewal event for the identity platform managing MFA and SSO for up to 5,100 users. FC3-10-0ACVM-248-02-60 is the right SKU for organizations that treat their tier 3 FortiAuthenticator VM as long-term infrastructure and want maximum coverage continuity from a single purchase.

Overview

FortiCare Premium Support (service code 248) delivers 24×7 access to Fortinet’s Technical Assistance Center, all firmware and software updates released during the term, and advance hardware replacement for the covered FortiAuthenticator VM instance. A 5-year term covers the full span from a single contract: five budget cycles, no mid-term renewal paperwork, and no window where coverage can lapse if a renewal is processed late. For a tier 3 VM managing up to 5,100 users, this provides the longest uninterrupted TAC and update access available at this capacity level.

Who it suits

This SKU fits organizations where FortiAuthenticator VM is a settled part of the identity stack – typically mid-market businesses or regional deployments that have operated the VM for at least one cycle and plan to continue without a capacity change. Security teams that schedule Fortinet renewals infrequently and prefer to minimize contract management overhead benefit the most from a 5-year commitment at tier 3. It is also the practical choice when other Fortinet assets are on 5-year terms and the organization wants to align all renewals to a single date.
