Fortinet FortiGate 2000E FortiConverter Migration Service, 1-Year (FC-10-002KE-189-02-12)

Firewalls that have been in production for years accumulate policies nobody fully remembers writing. The FortiGate 2000E 1-Year FortiConverter Service (FC-10-002KE-189-02-12) hands that conversion work to Fortinet’s own migration team: a one-time engagement that takes an existing configuration, whether from a legacy FortiGate or a third-party firewall, and rebuilds it as a validated FortiOS policy set for the 2000E. Subscription service only, no hardware included, delivered electronically worldwide.

What the service does

FortiConverter automates the parts of a migration that are easiest to get wrong by hand: interface and NAT mapping, firewall policy and address objects, and static routes. Source configurations from Barracuda, Check Point, Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Palo Alto Networks, SonicWall, Sophos, WatchGuard, Juniper, and several other vendors are supported, along with FortiGate-to-FortiGate conversions for teams simply moving up to the 2000E from an older Fortinet appliance. Every conversion ships with a summary report and audit documentation, so the receiving team can review exactly what changed before cutover rather than trusting a black box.

Who needs this

This fits an organization retiring an aging firewall for a FortiGate 2000E and wanting the transition handled by people who do it professionally, not a junior admin rebuilding rules line by line on a deadline. It also suits teams without the in-house time to manually document and re-verify years of accumulated policy. Fortinet also offers a self-serve FortiConverter Tool for teams planning repeated migrations and a full Professional Services engagement for projects that need onsite cutover support, test execution, and post-migration incident handling; this SKU covers the one-time automated conversion service itself.

A note on the FortiGate 2000E

The FortiGate 2000E is an established high-end platform still under Fortinet support, and FortiConverter licensing remains available for it even though it is no longer a current sales-focus model in Fortinet’s newer F/G-series lineups. Anyone consolidating configuration from an older 2000E deployment onto a fresh appliance, or standardizing multiple sites onto current FortiOS policy structure, can apply this service the same way regardless of which end of that migration the 2000E sits on.

Activation and delivery

The license is issued electronically and tied to the target FortiGate 2000E by serial number through the FortiConverter Service portal. Source configuration files are uploaded to the portal, Fortinet’s conversion engine and review team process them, and the converted policy set plus the audit report come back for the customer to import and validate. Nothing physical ships, and the one-time credit is consumed once a conversion job is completed.

One service vs. a broader subscription

FortiConverter is a standalone migration credit, not a recurring security subscription. It does not include IPS, antivirus, web filtering, or FortiCare support. If the 2000E also needs ongoing protection or support coverage, pair this migration service with a UTP or Enterprise subscription, or a FortiCare Premium support contract, purchased separately for the same appliance.
