What kinds of licences are there?

Fortinet licences fall into three groups. Most of them are subscriptions bound to the serial number of a device or to your Fortinet account.

FortiGuard security services

IPS, antivirus, web filtering, application control and other threat protection services. Sold as bundles (ATP, UTP, Enterprise) or as single services.

FortiCare support

Vendor technical support, firmware updates and hardware replacement (RMA). Essential, Premium and Elite levels plus fast replacement in as little as 4 hours.

Software and cloud services

FortiClient, FortiSASE, FortiMail, FortiEDR, FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, virtual FortiGates and more – licensed by users, devices or volume.

FortiGate security bundles

Three bundles for a FortiGate – each one also includes FortiCare Premium support. The choice depends on how much protection you need.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when a FortiGuard licence expires?

The firewall, VPN and routing keep working, but threat intelligence (IPS, antivirus, web filtering) stops updating and vendor support and hardware replacement are no longer available. Protection gets weaker over time.

Can I buy a licence for an existing device?

Yes. All FortiGuard and FortiCare licences work both for a new device and to renew an existing contract. The licence is bound to the serial number of the device.

Can I renew before the licence expires?

Yes, and it is recommended – that way there is no gap. The new term is normally added to the end of the current contract, so you lose no time by renewing early.

Is a longer term cheaper?

Yes, 3- and 5-year licences cost less per year than a 1-year licence. Our offer includes the price of every term.

Which bundle should I choose for a FortiGate?

UTP suits most businesses: it includes IPS, antivirus, web filtering, antispam and FortiCare Premium support. Enterprise adds AI-based malware prevention, DLP, IoT security and Security Rating.

How is a licence activated?

The licence is registered to the device serial number in the FortiCare portal and the device downloads the services automatically. We do this for you and check the result.

Is a licence about to expire?

Send us the device model and serial number – we check the contract and send a renewal offer.
