Product description

Already running FortiCare Premium on your FortiGate 30E and want tighter support coverage without starting a new contract? The FC-10-0030E-204-02-12 adds the gap between Premium and Elite for one year: the 1-hour critical-issue SLA, Priority RMA eligibility, and access to the Elite Monitoring Portal. If your 30E supports a location that cannot absorb a multi-hour response window during a firewall failure, this upgrade closes that gap without replacing the existing Premium plan.

What this upgrade adds

This SKU is not a full FortiCare plan. It is an upgrade overlay that requires an active FortiCare Premium subscription on the same FortiGate 30E. The key changes it applies are specific: the response window for P1 critical issues drops from 4 hours to 1 hour (Premium to Elite), 24/7; Priority RMA activates so Fortinet ships a replacement before receiving the defective unit back; and the Elite Monitoring Portal opens for proactive device health visibility.

Who uses this

IT administrators managing the 30E at a location where they renew FortiCare Premium each cycle, and want to step up support coverage — often after experiencing a slow response during a critical incident. It is also common at managed service providers that standardize on Elite SLAs across their FortiGate fleet, using the upgrade path to elevate older Premium contracts on hardware still in active rotation.

Activation and delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key electronically to your order email, typically within 0 to 1 business days. Activate through support.fortinet.com against the same FortiGate serial number that holds your FortiCare Premium contract. The upgrade takes effect immediately and runs for one year from activation.

Upgrade vs buying Elite outright

If you are at the start of a new support period and do not have Premium in place, purchasing FC-10-0030E-284-02-12 (FortiCare Elite standalone) is cleaner than buying Premium and then this upgrade separately. The upgrade path exists for mid-cycle adjustments or situations where the Premium contract was recently renewed and you want to add Elite without waiting for renewal timing. Check your contract dates before choosing between the two options.

Is an active FortiCare Premium contract required for this SKU?
Yes. The FC-10-0030E-204-02-12 is an upgrade SKU that layers on top of an existing FortiCare Premium contract for the same FortiGate 30E. If you do not have an active Premium plan, you need to purchase FortiCare Elite standalone (FC-10-0030E-284-02-12) instead.

What specific changes does upgrading from Premium to Elite make?
The main differences are the critical-issue response time (drops from 4 hours to 1 hour, 24/7), Priority RMA (ships replacement hardware before you return the defective unit), and access to the Elite Monitoring Portal for proactive device health monitoring. All other Premium features remain active.

Can I apply this upgrade mid-contract, or does it need to align with my renewal?
You can apply this upgrade at any point while your FortiCare Premium contract is active. The 1-year Elite upgrade term starts from the activation date. If your Premium contract has less than a year remaining, consider aligning renewal timing to avoid gaps or overlapping commitments.

Is this available for delivery outside Canada?
Yes. The FC-10-0030E-204-02-12 is a software license delivered electronically with no geographic restrictions. DataCenter360.ca ships license keys by email to customers in any country.

Does this upgrade affect my FortiGuard security subscriptions?
No. This is a FortiCare support-tier upgrade only. It does not add or modify any FortiGuard security services such as IPS, URL filtering, or AntiVirus. Your existing security subscriptions continue unchanged.
