Running a FortiGate 3000F-DC at the data-center edge means your firewall sits directly in front of revenue-critical traffic. When a critical fault surfaces at 2 a.m., the one-hour response window of FortiCare Premium can leave too much on the table. FC-10-FD3K0-204-02-60 upgrades an existing Premium subscription on the 3000F-DC to FortiCare Elite for five years, trimming the critical-issue response SLA from one hour down to fifteen minutes and unlocking Elite-only firmware and monitoring tools.
This is a term-matched upgrade, not a standalone support contract. It extends an existing FortiCare Premium agreement on the same FortiGate 3000F-DC unit to the Elite tier. FortiCare Premium must be active on the device before activation. Elite builds on Premium and adds three key capabilities:
This product moves the FortiGate 3000F-DC into the FortiCare Elite tier. The table below summarizes how the three support tiers compare for FortiGate platforms:
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 1 hour | 15 minutes |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hardware RMA | Return & replace | Advanced replacement | Advanced replacement |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware, tools & support portal | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |
The FortiGate 3000F-DC is a high-throughput firewall designed for data-center perimeter and spine deployments. It commonly protects financial services workloads, healthcare infrastructure, and government backbones where a critical fault demands a response measured in minutes. FortiCare Elite is the appropriate support tier when your internal or external SLA requires sub-hour incident acknowledgement, access to stable firmware lines, and dedicated monitoring visibility.
FC-10-FD3K0-204-02-60 is a software license. DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation key electronically within 0-1 business days of order confirmation — no hardware is shipped. Activate through FortiCloud or directly on the FortiGate dashboard. The Elite upgrade takes effect from activation and runs for five years from the existing Premium contract start date, subject to Fortinet’s term-alignment policy.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner with no geographic restriction on software licensing. This five-year upgrade ships electronically to any country. Purchasing the full five-year term in a single SKU avoids annual renewal overhead. If you need to confirm compatibility with your existing Premium contract term before ordering, submit a quote request with the device serial number and our team will verify alignment before processing.
This is an upgrade SKU only and does not include a FortiCare Premium subscription. Your FortiGate 3000F-DC must already have an active Premium contract before this upgrade can be applied. Fortinet’s licensing portal validates the Premium subscription on the device at activation time; if no qualifying Premium contract is found, the Elite upgrade cannot be applied. Purchase FortiCare Premium separately if it is not already in place on the device.
Yes. FC-10-FD3K0-204-02-60 is a software-only license with no geographic restriction. DataCenter360.ca delivers activation keys electronically to any country. Whether the FortiGate 3000F-DC is deployed in a Canadian data center or at a site elsewhere, the Elite upgrade applies through Fortinet’s licensing portal in exactly the same way.
FortiCare Premium provides one-hour critical-issue response, telephone support, and advanced hardware replacement. FortiCare Elite retains all Premium features and adds a 15-minute critical-issue response SLA, access to extended LTS firmware branches that reduce forced upgrade risk, and the Elite monitoring portal for ongoing device health visibility. This upgrade is the only way to reach Elite-level SLAs without restarting the support term on the device.
