Fortinet End of Service Life

Fortinet provides End of Support and End of Life dates for its hardware, software, or services, facilitating a smoother transition process. This lifecycle timeline aids in managing Fortinet technology transitions effectively, reducing potential disruptions.

What is Fortinet End of Support (EOS)?

Marks the last day in a Fortinet model’s lifecycle. Post this date, the model will not receive any hardware or software support from Fortinet. The standard practice sets the EOS 60 months (5 years) past the EOO date. Critical vulnerabilities in the FortiOS software will remain unpatched after this date.

What is Fortinet End of Order Date (EOO)?

Denotes the final day to purchase a specific model of Fortinet hardware. These dates vary with each model and are updated periodically.

Approaching EOES with your Fortinet Hardware – What’s Next?

This term is exclusive to firmware (FortiOS). Beyond this date, only critical security patches and updates are rolled out for a specific version of FortiOS until its End of Support. Routine bugs, threat intelligence, emerging threats, and vulnerability issues are neither fixed nor reported. Presently, the EOES is set 36 months (3 years) from the day of the first release in a specific FortiOS version.

What is Fortinet Last Service Extension Date (LSED)?

The last day to extend the support/subscription service for a model no longer on sale. This date is usually 12 months prior to the End of Support date at the latest.

What is Fortinet End of Engineering Support Date (EOES)?

Fortinet products arrive at their End of Engineering Support Date (EOES) due to evolving market needs, technological advancements, and progress fostering transformations. During the five (5) year End of Support (EOS) timeline, Fortinet incrementally lessens its participation in upkeeping the existing equipment to transition your organization towards other Fortinet offerings and technologies. As Fortinet withdraws their support, companies worldwide rely on top-tier service providers to maintain consistent stability across their infrastructure, ensuring the achievement of their IT and business objectives.

Fortinet Product Lifecycle Examples

Take, for instance, the Fortinet Fortigate Firewalls the 100E and 30E:

Fortigate 100E

  • End of Order: August 17, 2021
  • Last Service Extension Date: August 17, 2025
  • End of Support: August 17, 2026

Fortigate 30E

  • End of Order: March 31, 2022
  • Last Service Extension Date: March 31, 2026
  • End of Support: March 31, 2027

The life cycles of Fortinet hardware devices and FortiOS firmware versions are not linked. For instance, the latest version of FortiOS available for the Fortigate Firewall 30E model is the 6.2.x train, with no 6.4/7.0/7.2/etc. versions in line for it.
