The 30G is the current-generation small-office FortiGate — the unit South African resellers now ship where a 40F went before. The first wave of 30G licences is starting to come due, and searches for this model are rising fast locally.
The FortiGate 30G renews onto any of the four standard Fortinet bundles, each over a 12, 24 or 36-month term. Every bundle includes FortiCare Premium support and FortiOS firmware access; the security layers stack from there. Part numbers follow Fortinet's FC-10-… licence format — we confirm the exact SKU for your appliance on the quote.
| Bundle | What it keeps active | 12 mo | 24 mo | 36 mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FortiCare | Support, advanced hardware replacement, firmware access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| ATP Bundle | FortiCare + IPS, anti-malware, application control, FortiSandbox Cloud | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| UTP Bundle (most popular) | ATP + web/DNS/video filtering, antispam, IoT detection | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Enterprise | UTP + OT/industrial security and attack-surface management | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Not sure which layer you actually use? Our ATP vs UTP vs Enterprise guide breaks it down honestly — including when the cheaper bundle is genuinely enough.
FortiGate 30G and FortiWiFi 30G (serials starting FGT30G or FWF30G). Renewals for small offices and branches on current-generation hardware. If your serial starts with something else, don't worry — enter it in the wizard and we'll verify the model against FortiCare automatically.
If the licence has already lapsed, the 30G keeps passing traffic but stops receiving FortiGuard updates — and newer FortiOS releases block firmware upgrades without active FortiCare. Renewals are back-dated to the expiry date under Fortinet's continuous-service rule. Full details: what happens when a FortiGate licence expires.
It depends on the bundle and term. The 30G is the entry-level current-generation unit, so renewals sit at the affordable end. We quote in rand, VAT included, usually within business hours.
Yes — the FortiWiFi 30G (serial FWF30G…) uses identical bundles and terms; the wireless radio doesn't change the licensing.
Check what term was bundled at purchase (often 12 months), then diarise it — or use our free expiry checker. Renewing before the lapse avoids any gap in FortiGuard cover.
Serial in — verified rand quote out. Expired licences welcome.
