FortiCare and FortiGuard License Buying Checklist

Where FortiCare and FortiGuard service contracts fits

Fortinet quotations often combine hardware, FortiCare support and FortiGuard security services. The service SKU must match the covered appliance and the required contract duration.

Technical and commercial checks

• Match the service SKU to the exact appliance family.
• Confirm new contract, renewal or co-term transaction type.
• State included security services and FortiCare support level.
• Validate start date, registration account, destination and transfer rules.

How to make the selection

Treat the contract as a separate line item with a clear covered serial number or model, service bundle, duration and activation owner. Do not describe a hardware-only appliance as carrying security services unless the entitlement is included and verifiable.

Common procurement risks

• Purchasing a renewal SKU for an ineligible device.
• Assuming a used appliance includes transferable services.
• Failing to define who owns the Fortinet registration account.
