Product description

Fortinet’s 5-year coverage terms suit teams that prefer fewer renewal cycles and predictable support budgets. The FC-10-F40FG-204-02-60 locks in FortiCare Elite on your FortiGate 40F-3G4G for five years, stepping up from Premium to activate the Elite monitoring portal and extended LTS firmware access across the full term without annual re-purchase.

What the Elite Upgrade Adds

This SKU (FC-10-F40FG-204-02-60) 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 5-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-204-02-60 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

Do I need FortiCare Premium already active to use this?

Yes. The Premium-to-Elite upgrade requires an active FortiCare Premium contract on the same FortiGate 40F-3G4G serial number. It extends Premium to Elite; it does not replace or substitute for it.

What happens at the end of 5 years?

At expiry, FortiCare coverage lapses unless renewed. Fortinet sends renewal notifications in advance. You can renew with a new Premium-to-Elite upgrade or move to a bundle that includes both FortiCare and FortiGuard services.

Can I buy this for a FortiGate 40F-3G4G outside Canada?

Yes. Electronic licenses ship worldwide. DataCenter360.ca delivers contract keys to any country, and there are no geographic restrictions on FortiCare contracts.

What does the Extended LTS firmware stream mean in practice?

It means you can continue receiving firmware updates for a specific FortiOS major version beyond the point where Fortinet would typically end engineering support for that branch under the standard Premium tier. This is useful for environments on strict change-management cycles.

Does the 5-year upgrade lock the firmware version I’m currently running?

No. You retain access to all firmware updates your device supports. The Extended LTS stream adds additional coverage for older branches; it does not restrict you from upgrading to current firmware.
