Fortinet FortiManager + FortiCare 24x7 - 3 Year Subscription License (100 Additional Device/Virtual Domain)

Elevate your security operations with Fortinet’s FortiManager combined with FortiCare 24x7, a powerful management and support solution designed for growing networks that demand centralized control, rapid policy deployment, and reliable protection. This 3-year subscription license unlocks 100 additional device or virtual domain coverage, enabling you to scale across Fortinet devices—from FortiGate firewalls to FortiProxy and FortiMail—while maintaining consistent security posture and governance. With FortiManager, administrators gain a single pane of glass to configure, monitor, and optimize security policies at scale, while FortiCare 24x7 ensures continuous uptime, rapid incident response, and ongoing access to Fortinet’s software updates and expert support. The three-year term provides budgeting clarity and long-term protection, helping you stay ahead of evolving threats without disruption or unpredictable renewal cycles.

• Centralized, scalable management for Fortinet devices: FortiManager consolidates policy administration, device provisioning, and configuration changes across your security fabric. This means fewer manual steps, fewer misconfigurations, and faster onboarding for new devices or virtual domains. With a centralized console, security teams can push consistent policy packages, track changes, and enforce governance across multi-vendor Fortinet deployments, reducing administrative overhead and accelerating response to evolving threats.
• 100 Additional Device/Virtual Domain license: This subscription grants coverage for 100 additional Fortinet devices or virtual domains beyond your base deployment. It supports seamless expansion as your network grows, whether adding FortiGate units, FortiProxy, FortiMail, or other Fortinet-enabled services. The license is designed for environments that require flexible scaling without renegotiating architecture, enabling you to protect more edges, data centers, and remote sites under a single management umbrella.
• FortiCare 24x7 support for uninterrupted operations: FortiCare 24x7 provides round-the-clock access to Fortinet support engineers, fast case handling, and guidance for complex deployments. You’ll receive proactive firmware updates, security patches, and best-practice recommendations to help you maintain a robust security posture. This level of care translates into reduced downtime, quicker recovery from incidents, and greater confidence in your security investments.
• Three-year protection and predictable budgeting: The 3-year term stabilizes renewal timing and pricing, helping procurement teams forecast expenses with confidence. By locking in coverage for multiple device cohorts and the FortiCare support window, you avoid mid-term price surges and ensure continuity of software updates, policy management capabilities, and dedicated technical assistance for the full term of the subscription.
• Seamless deployment, governance, and policy orchestration: FortiManager enables zero-touch provisioning, policy synchronization, and automated device onboarding across diverse Fortinet products. This means your security teams can design unified security fabrics, test new rules in staging environments, and push verified configurations to production with confidence. The result is faster deployments, standardized configurations, and improved compliance with internal and external requirements.

How to install Fortinet FortiManager + FortiCare 24x7

• Step 1 — Verify prerequisites: Confirm your FortiManager appliance or virtual instance meets minimum hardware and software requirements for the version that supports FortiManager with FortiCare 24x7 licensing, and ensure your environment has network connectivity to Fortinet support portals for activation and entitlement validation. Prepare a backup of existing configurations to safeguard against any changes during deployment.
• Step 2 — Retrieve license entitlement: Access the Fortinet customer portal or the procurement channel through which you obtained the 3-year subscription. Retrieve the activation key or license file that corresponds to the 100 Additional Device/Virtual Domain coverage and FortiCare 24x7 entitlements. Keep this information secure for activation steps.
• Step 3 — Activate the license: Log into FortiManager with an administrator account and navigate to the license management area. Import or paste the activation key/file as directed by Fortinet’s licensing workflow. Validate entitlement status to ensure the 100 additional device/virtual domain coverage and FortiCare 24x7 services are active and linked to your FortiManager deployment.
• Step 4 — Associate devices and domains: Begin attaching eligible Fortinet devices or virtual domains to FortiManager for centralized management. This includes importing device inventory, assigning administrative domains, and grouping devices to align with your organizational structure. Ensure new devices are visible in the FortiManager inventory and that policy templates are ready for deployment.
• Step 5 — Configure policy packages: Create and refine policy packs that span firewall rules, application control, web filtering, VPN configurations, and routing. Use FortiManager’s package-based approach to distribute these policies consistently across all managed devices, taking advantage of object libraries and centralized templates to minimize misconfigurations.
• Step 6 — Enable FortiCare 24x7 features: Ensure FortiCare 24x7 support is activated in the Fortinet portal for your account and is linked to your FortiManager deployment. Establish service request workflows and notification preferences so critical alerts reach the right teams promptly.
• Step 7 — Implement change control and audit logs: Use FortiManager’s change control and audit trails to document policy updates, device provisioning actions, and firmware upgrades. This creates an accessible history for compliance reporting, investigations, and performance reviews.
• Step 8 — Plan ongoing maintenance: Schedule regular firmware updates, policy reviews, and discovery scans to maintain alignment with security objectives. Use FortiManager to test changes in a staging area before production deployment, minimizing risk.
• Step 9 — Monitor health and performance: Leverage FortiManager dashboards and FortiCare support to monitor device status, license expirations, and security events. Proactive health checks help identify potential issues before they impact operations.
• Step 10 — Documentation and training: Provide administrators with access to Fortinet’s training resources, product documentation, and best-practice guidelines to maximize the value of FortiManager and FortiCare. Regularly refresh credentials and rotate access as part of your security program.
