FORTINET FC-10-0VM16-408-02-36 FortiMail VM16 3 Year Advanced Admin and MSSP License Add-on

FC-10-0VM16-408-02-36 Procurement Check

FC-10-0VM16-408-02-36 is a 3 year Advanced Admin and MSSP License Add-on entitlement for one eligible, registered FortiMail VM16. It is delivered electronically and does not include the FortiMail VM license, a virtual machine, server hardware or cloud hosting.

Registered Platform

Fortinet documents FortiMail VM16 as a tier supporting up to 16 vCPUs, with published sizing that includes 1,500 protected email domains and 3,000 server-mode mailboxes. Sizing figures are planning limits, not resources delivered by this SKU. VM16 is a sixteen-vCPU FortiMail tier used for materially larger mail-security workloads. Its entitlement record should include cluster role, traffic baseline, storage monitoring, deployment platform and incident ownership.

Service Scope

Fortinet lists Advanced Admin and MSSP as an add-on for FortiMail, with domain-group support, advanced session profiles and user-import capabilities in the advanced management offering. This is a feature entitlement for an eligible FortiMail deployment, not antivirus coverage, Premium support or a VM appliance.

Confirm tenant and domain-administration requirements before purchase. The add-on should be attached to the correct licensed VM16 instance, and the operational design must define delegated roles, imported users and separation between customer domains before activation.

3 Year Acceptance

A three-year term needs a midpoint check for serial ownership, software eligibility, service use and platform sizing. Preserve quote-defined dates and document what happens if the VM is migrated or retired early.

For a three-year VM16 management add-on, define a recurring access-governance review across customer or business-unit domains. Preserve role changes, import sources and separation tests, and update the entitlement record whenever the VM or managed-service ownership changes. Schedule independent confirmation that delegated administrators cannot cross tenant boundaries, and document emergency-access approval and revocation. At midpoint, reconcile imported identities with the authoritative directory and review session-profile ownership. Before contract end, decide whether the shared-service model remains appropriate or whether separate FortiMail instances provide clearer accountability.

Extended governance evidence should include recurring privileged-access certification, directory-import reconciliation and an ownership handover procedure. Preserve test results across contract years so separation controls can be demonstrated without relying on the memory of the original administrator.

• Match service code 408 to the authorized quote and exact FortiMail VM16 serial.
• Confirm 36 months of coverage without gaps or unexplained overlap.
• Record the Fortinet account, activation owner, current software release and deployment identity.
• Verify included and excluded services before treating this legacy SKU as equivalent to a current bundle.
