Renew your Fortinet contract for less than you are paying now

Send us the number and we will match it or beat it. Renewals are registered deals, so the discount we can get from Fortinet on a specific serial number is real and it is the main reason a quote you already hold is easy for us to improve on. There is no charge for being told we cannot beat it, which happens occasionally when an incumbent has priced a renewal at cost to keep the account.

Yes, and most renewal customers did not. A FortiCare or FortiGuard renewal is tied to your serial number, not to whoever sold you the box. Send us the serials and we will quote the renewal regardless of where the hardware came from. There is no migration, no downtime, and nothing changes on the device.

The firewall keeps passing traffic, which is exactly why this is dangerous. What stops is the updates: no new IPS signatures, no antivirus definitions, no web filtering category updates, and no firmware including security patches. The box carries on looking healthy while its protection ages, and most estates discover it during an incident or an audit rather than from an alert.

Yes, and it is usually worth doing. Hardware, FortiCare and FortiGuard commonly run to different dates across an estate, which means several purchase orders a year and several chances to miss one. We co-terminate them to a single date, which normally means a short bridging term on some devices to line them up.

Per year, yes, and materially so. Fortinet prices three and five year terms below three or five times the annual rate, which you can see in the tables on this page. A five year term also matches a typical hardware refresh cycle, so support and hardware retire together rather than leaving you renewing a box you are about to replace.

It depends on quantity, term length and whether we register the renewal with Fortinet, so a single number on a web page would be wrong for most people reading it. What we will commit to is a real figure the same working day, and that every price shown here is Fortinet MSRP, which is what we discount from.

Usually not, though it gets more expensive the longer it runs. Fortinet generally requires back-coverage for the lapsed period rather than letting you restart cleanly, so the cost grows with the gap. If something has already expired, that is a reason to move now rather than to wait.
