Fortinet FortiGate 1100E FortiConverter Migration Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F11HE-189-02-12)

Migrating a live FortiGate 1100E from a competing or legacy firewall is one of the highest-risk moments in a network refresh. Manual policy translation is slow, error-prone, and often leaves obsolete rules in place. The FC-10-F11HE-189-02-12 covers a single use of Fortinet’s FortiConverter Service for the FortiGate 1100E, licensed for one year, converting your source configuration to FortiOS format and validating it with Fortinet security experts before it goes live.

What FortiConverter Covers on the FortiGate 1100E

The service handles configuration objects that take the longest to rebuild by hand:

• Interface NAT rules and address objects
• Firewall policies
• Static routes
• Third-party vendor configurations (Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, SonicWall, Juniper, Huawei, WatchGuard, and more)
• FortiGate-to-FortiGate full configuration migration

Migration runs through Fortinet’s secure cloud portal. You upload the source configuration file, the system performs automated translation using proven methodologies, and Fortinet security experts review and validate the output. Every conversion includes a summary report and audit documentation.

Who Needs This Service

The primary buyer is an enterprise replacing an aging firewall with the FortiGate 1100E and needing to carry over an established ruleset. If the outgoing device is a Cisco ASA, Palo Alto, Check Point, or SonicWall, FortiConverter eliminates hand-rebuilding several hundred policies. It is equally practical for organizations upgrading from an older FortiGate model: the service covers FortiGate-to-FortiGate migration in full.

The FortiGate 1100E is a mid-to-large enterprise appliance. Purchasing FortiConverter at the same time as the hardware means the device is productive from day one, without a prolonged manual cutover window.

Activation and Electronic Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the license electronically in 0 to 1 business days anywhere in the world. The service entitlement appears in your Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) and in the FortiConverter cloud portal. From there, upload your source configuration, track conversion status, and download the validated FortiOS configuration file.

The 1-year term begins at activation. Because FortiConverter provides a one-time migration, most organizations activate and complete the conversion within the first few weeks of the 12-month window.

FortiConverter Service vs Alternative Migration Paths

Fortinet offers three options for migrating to the FortiGate 1100E:

• FortiConverter Service (FC-10-F11HE-189-02-12, this product): One-time automated migration via the cloud portal, with expert validation and an audit report. The right choice for a single migration to the 1100E where Fortinet-validated output is needed.
• FortiConverter Tool (FC-10-CON01-401-01-12): Annual software subscription for unlimited conversions, installed on-premises (Windows). Better suited for partners or IT teams running many migrations across multiple FortiGate devices over the year.
• Fortinet Professional Services: Fully managed, end-to-end migration by certified Fortinet engineers, including solution design, cutover support, and post-cutover incident management. Contact a partner account manager to scope the engagement.

For a single FortiGate 1100E deployment, the one-time service is the most direct and cost-effective path.
