Fortinet FortiGate 3000F DC FortiCare Premium to Elite Upgrade, 3-Year (FC-10-FD3K0-204-02-36)

The FortiGate 3000F-DC runs in environments where downtime has a measurable cost. If it already carries FortiCare Premium, this 3-year upgrade license moves the device to Fortinet’s top support tier, Elite, without replacing or overlapping the existing contract.

What the Premium-to-Elite Upgrade Covers

FC-10-FD3K0-204-02-36 converts an active FortiCare Premium contract on the FortiGate 3000F-DC to the Elite tier for a 3-year term. Everything from Premium carries forward, and Elite adds three core features:

• Critical-issue response drops from 1 hour to 15 minutes under Fortinet TAC
• Access to the Elite monitoring portal for proactive visibility into device health and security posture
• Extended long-term software support (LTS) for firmware stability on devices with planned long lifecycles

An active FortiCare Premium contract registered to this device’s serial number is required before this upgrade can be applied.
