Product description

Locking in three more years of coverage is a good time to lock in the top support tier as well. The FC-10-F40FG-204-02-36 upgrades your FortiGate 40F-3G4G from FortiCare Premium to Elite for a full 3-year window, giving your team the Extended LTS firmware stream and the FortiCare Elite monitoring portal across the entire renewal period without an annual re-purchase.

What the Elite Upgrade Adds

This SKU (FC-10-F40FG-204-02-36) is a FortiCare Premium to Elite upgrade. Applied to an active Premium contract on your FortiGate 40F-3G4G, it unlocks the FortiCare Elite tier for the 3-year term. The table below shows how the three FortiCare tiers compare:

Feature Essential Premium Elite
Critical-issue response time Next business day 1 hour 15 minutes
24/7 telephone support
Hardware advance replacement
Priority RMA eligibility
Firmware updates & portal access
Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal

Who Buys This

FortiGate 40F-3G4G operators with an active FortiCare Premium entitlement who need Elite features before their next full renewal. This is the right pick for compliance-driven environments requiring extended LTS firmware access, for teams running FortiOS on a strict change-management schedule, or for sites where faster critical-issue response times (15 minutes vs. 1 hour under Premium) are required by SLA.

This upgrade is not applicable to devices on FortiCare Essential or without any FortiCare in place.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F40FG-204-02-36 is an electronic license. Once your order is confirmed, the Fortinet contract key is delivered by email within 0-1 business days. To activate, log in to the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com, navigate to Asset Management, and apply the contract key to your FortiGate 40F-3G4G serial number. No hardware is shipped; the activation is complete as soon as the key is registered.

This Upgrade vs. a Full FortiGuard Subscription Bundle

FortiCare Elite covers hardware support, firmware access, and technical care. It does not include FortiGuard threat feeds such as IPS, antivirus, web filtering, or application control. If your FortiGate 40F-3G4G needs both hardware care and threat intelligence, a UTP or Enterprise subscription bundle includes FortiCare Premium plus all FortiGuard services in a single SKU and is typically the more cost-effective starting point.

The Premium-to-Elite upgrade is the right choice when FortiGuard bundles are already in place and you specifically want to step the support tier up to Elite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cover 3 full years from activation?

Yes. The 3-year term runs from the activation date in the Fortinet Support Portal. If your current Premium entitlement expires before this upgrade, coordinate renewal dates so coverage is continuous.

Can I apply this if I don’t currently have FortiCare Premium?

No. Active FortiCare Premium on the FortiGate 40F-3G4G is required. The upgrade adds Elite features on top; it does not function as a standalone FortiCare contract.

What does the Elite monitoring portal give me that Premium doesn’t?

The Elite monitoring portal provides proactive device status visibility and alerts, including health checks and early notification of critical security advisories beyond what the standard Premium support portal offers.

Is there a 5-year version of this upgrade?

Yes, the FC-10-F40FG-204-02-60 covers a 5-year term and is in stock at DataCenter360.ca.

Does FortiCare Elite include FortiGuard threat services?

No. FortiCare Elite is a hardware support and care contract. FortiGuard threat services such as IPS, antivirus, and URL filtering are covered by FortiGuard subscription bundles (UTP, ATP, Enterprise) sold separately.
