FortiOS 8.0 Support: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Fortinet FortiOS 8.0 still supported?
Yes. The FortiOS 8.0 is currently supported by Fortinet, and third-party support is available as an alternative — issue management, vulnerability remediation, and compliance help independent of the vendor contract.
When is the Fortinet FortiOS 8.0 end of service life (EOSL) date?
Fortinet lists the end of service life for the FortiOS 8.0 as Oct 21, 2030.
Can I keep using the FortiOS 8.0 after its EOSL date?
Yes. EOSL means Fortinet stops issuing patches and support — the software itself keeps running. Third-party support covers it from there: issue management, security vulnerability remediation, and the compliance documentation auditors ask for, for as long as you choose to run it.
How much does third-party support for the FortiOS 8.0 cost?
Typically 40-70% below the OEM maintenance renewal price. Exact pricing depends on quantity, service level and location — request a quote and we respond within 24 hours.
