Fortinet FortiGate 40F-3G4G FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F40FG-189-02-12)

Replacing another vendor’s firewall with a FortiGate 40F-3G4G usually means rebuilding the rule base line by line, and a hand-typed policy is where quiet mistakes hide. FC-10-F40FG-189-02-12 is the FortiConverter Service for the 40F-3G4G: a one-year entitlement to a guided, one-time configuration conversion that lifts an existing policy set onto FortiOS. It is a subscription license for one 40F-3G4G, delivered electronically, with no hardware enclosed.

What the service does

FortiConverter automates the heavy part of migrating from a third-party firewall, such as a legacy Cisco, Check Point, or Palo Alto configuration, onto the 40F-3G4G. It maps interfaces, address and service objects, NAT rules, and security policies into a FortiOS configuration, then cleans up the output so you are not transcribing thousands of lines yourself. The payoff is a faster cutover with fewer translation errors and far less chance of an overlooked rule slipping through.

Who needs it

Anyone deploying a 40F-3G4G to retire another vendor’s box, or consolidating several aging branch configurations onto Fortinet, gets the most from it. Sites moving to an LTE-connected FortiGate during a refresh are a natural fit, since the migration and the new cellular WAN can be commissioned together. It also helps partners running migrations at scale who want a repeatable, supported conversion instead of a manual rebuild per location.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement registers to your FortiGate 40F-3G4G through the Fortinet support portal and activates electronically. Because this is a one-time migration service, the one-year term is the window in which you run the conversion. There is nothing to ship, and delivery is the same to any country.

After the migration

FortiConverter gets the policy onto the 40F-3G4G; it does not provide ongoing threat protection. Once the cutover is finished, the device still needs a live security subscription, so most buyers pair this with a UTP or Enterprise bundle and add FortiCare Premium for hardware support and faster response. Those follow-on items are listed in the related products.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner, so the FortiConverter entitlement is registered through Fortinet’s authorized channel and matched to your unit. Buy it alongside a new 40F-3G4G so the migration is ready the moment the hardware arrives, or add it to a unit already racked and waiting for its configuration. If you would like a hand scoping the conversion before you order, send us the source firewall details and we will advise.
