United States (US) Authorized DistributorRunning FortiCare Premium on a FortiGate 50E and need Elite coverage before your next renewal? The FC-10-0050E-204-02-12 is the 1-year upgrade license that layers Elite benefits onto the existing Premium entitlement, activating the FortiCare Elite monitoring portal and extended LTS firmware access without replacing the base contract or resetting the coverage term.
FC-10-0050E-204-02-12 is a FortiCare Premium to Elite upgrade that runs alongside an active Premium contract on the FortiGate 50E. The table below shows how all 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 | — | — | ✓ |
IT teams maintaining FortiGate 50E units in compliance-sensitive environments where extended LTS firmware access is required, or sites where faster critical-incident response under Elite SLA (15 minutes vs. 1 hour under Premium) is a policy requirement. This is specifically for operators who already hold active FortiCare Premium on the device; it cannot be applied to a device on Essential or with no FortiCare in place.
FC-10-0050E-204-02-12 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 key to your FortiGate 50E serial number. Your Premium entitlement remains active; the upgrade runs in parallel for its 1-year term.
FortiCare Elite covers hardware support, firmware access, and technical care for the FortiGate 50E. It does not add FortiGuard threat intelligence such as IPS, antivirus, or web filtering. If those services are still needed, a UTP bundle (FC-10-0050E-950-02-12) combines FortiCare Premium with FortiGuard services in one SKU and is the better starting point. The Premium-to-Elite upgrade is the right buy when FortiGuard coverage is already active and the goal is specifically the Elite support tier.

Active FortiCare Premium on the same FortiGate 50E serial number is required. The upgrade activates Elite features on top of Premium and cannot function without the Premium base already registered to the device.
No. Your Premium entitlement stays active. The upgrade runs in parallel and enables Elite-tier features for its 1-year term. When it expires, the device returns to Premium-level coverage.
Multi-year Premium to Elite upgrade SKUs are not currently available in the catalog for the FortiGate 50E. The 1-year (FC-10-0050E-204-02-12) is the option in stock. Contact DataCenter360.ca for alternatives if longer-term coverage is needed.
