Authorized Partner for United States (US)For FortiGate 40F sites already running FortiCare Premium, this 5-year upgrade locks in Elite-tier coverage for the long term without replacing the existing Premium contract. Rather than deciding each year whether to top up to Elite, one purchase covers the gap for five years, giving you Fortinet’s 1-hour critical-issue SLA, the Elite monitoring portal, and extended LTS firmware access for the full deployment lifetime of most 40F units.
FC-10-0040F-204-02-60 moves your FortiGate 40F from the Premium tier to Elite for five years. This product is the Premium-to-Elite upgrade; it requires an active FortiCare Premium contract. Here is how all three FortiCare tiers compare:
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 2 hours (24×7) | 1 hour (24×7) |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hardware RMA | Standard (10–14 days) | Next business day | Next business day |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware, tools & portal access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |
This SKU is designed for two main scenarios. First, organizations that already purchased a multi-year FortiCare Premium contract and now want Elite coverage for the same period rather than paying for annual upgrades. Second, MSPs or IT teams standardizing an entire 40F fleet to Elite coverage, where locking in the upgrade for 5 years avoids the tracking overhead of per-year top-ups across dozens of devices. The 5-year term makes sense when the hardware lifecycle and the Premium contract both extend to that horizon.
FC-10-0040F-204-02-60 is a software license with no physical shipment. Fortinet delivers the license key electronically after your order is confirmed, typically within 0 to 1 business days. Activation is through the Fortinet Support portal at support.fortinet.com, where you apply the key to the registered FortiGate 40F serial number. Your FortiCare Premium contract must be active and valid at the time of activation. The upgrade term runs for five years from the activation date.
If your FortiGate 40F doesn’t have an active FortiCare Premium contract, this upgrade product isn’t the right entry point. In that case, purchasing FortiCare Elite directly (FC-10-0040F-284-02-60) is the path. If you also need FortiGuard security services such as IPS, antivirus, and URL filtering, a UTP or Enterprise subscription bundle packages those with FortiCare Premium in a single SKU. Adding this 5-year Elite upgrade on top of a 5-year bundle would give you the full Elite SLA on an otherwise bundle-based deployment.
DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner in Canada with FCP-certified staff. The 5-year Elite upgrade is popular with MSPs managing multiple 40F sites, and we can coordinate bulk activations, verify contract compatibility, and confirm co-termination logistics before you order. If you have a mix of 40F units with different Premium contract expiry dates and want to align everything to a single Elite renewal date, reach out with the serial numbers and current contract details.
Yes. This SKU is an upgrade from Premium to Elite and requires an active FortiCare Premium contract on the FortiGate 40F at the time of activation. If your device doesn’t have Premium coverage, purchase FortiCare Elite directly (FC-10-0040F-284-02-60) instead.
The Elite upgrade is layered on top of the Premium contract. If the underlying Premium contract lapses, you lose the full FortiCare coverage, including the Elite benefits. Keep Premium active for the duration of the upgrade term to maintain Elite-level support throughout. We can help you align renewal dates to avoid this scenario.
FortiCare licenses are registered to a specific device serial number. If the device is replaced under an RMA event, Fortinet typically transfers the contract to the replacement unit. For proactive hardware upgrades before the license term ends, contact Fortinet Support or reach out to us to understand your options for the remaining term.
No. Each FortiCare license key is tied to one device serial number. You need one FC-10-0040F-204-02-60 per FortiGate 40F unit. For multi-unit deployments, we can process bulk orders and provide separate license keys for each device in a single transaction.
Yes. Fortinet software licenses are available worldwide with no geographic restrictions. DataCenter360.ca delivers license keys electronically to customers in any country. Typical delivery is 0 to 1 business days after your order is processed.
