Fortinet FortiGate 91G HA FGaaS Upgrade FortiCare Premium to Elite, 3-Year (FC1-10-G091G-1185-02-36)

The FC1-10-G091G-1185-02-36 applies a three-year FortiCare Premium-to-Elite upgrade to a FortiGate 91G HA pair running under FortiGate-as-a-Service (FGaaS). It bridges the gap between the standard FortiCare Premium entitlement and Elite’s LTS firmware track and monitoring portal, matching a typical mid-range contract cycle.

What This Upgrade Covers

Service code 1185 is the FGaaS-specific FortiCare Premium-to-Elite upgrade for the FortiGate 91G HA configuration. Applying this SKU to the registered FortiGate 91G HA serial numbers adds two entitlements on top of the existing FortiCare Premium baseline: access to the Extended LTS firmware track, which provides long-term stable firmware releases suited to deployments with strict change-management policies, and the Elite Monitoring Portal, where Fortinet’s back-end engineering team tracks device health and surfaces proactive alerts. Standard FortiCare Premium features (critical-issue response SLA, telephone support, hardware RMA) remain in effect and are not changed by the upgrade.

Prerequisite: An active FortiCare Premium subscription must already be registered to each FortiGate 91G HA node before this upgrade can be applied. The FC1-10 prefix identifies this as a FGaaS variant; it is not interchangeable with a standard FC-10 FortiCare upgrade for standalone hardware.

Who Buys This

Organizations running the FortiGate 91G in an HA pair under the FGaaS delivery model that need LTS firmware compliance, often driven by a security policy, audit requirement, or a software supply-chain control that restricts devices to long-term-support release tracks. It is also relevant for teams that want the Elite escalation path and proactive monitoring visibility across both HA nodes, particularly in financial services or regulated industries where uptime commitments need documented Fortinet-side backing.

This Upgrade vs. Renewing the Full HA Subscription

The 1185 code targets a specific gap: you already have FortiCare Premium through your FGaaS subscription and need Elite on top. If you are approaching renewal and want to evaluate whether bundled subscriptions now cover the same ground, compare the current FGaaS subscription catalog for the FG-91G HA against this upgrade cost. Contact DataCenter360.ca for a side-by-side quote before renewal.
