United States (US) Authorized DistributorIf the FortiGate 70F protecting your branch is already covered by FortiCare Premium but critical response time is still a concern, FC-10-0070F-204-02-12 closes the gap. This one-year upgrade adds Elite-tier benefits to the existing Premium contract without waiting for the annual renewal cycle: the critical response SLA tightens from four hours to one, and the Elite proactive monitoring portal activates on the Fortinet Support account alongside extended LTS firmware coverage.
FortiCare Premium and Elite share the same foundation — 24×7 telephone TAC, next-business-day hardware RMA, and firmware access. The upgrade to Elite changes three specific things:
This product requires an active FortiCare Premium subscription on the same FortiGate 70F serial number. It cannot be applied to Essential-level contracts or to units with no active FortiCare coverage.
The upgrade path suits IT teams that already locked in a Premium contract — perhaps as part of a bundle or a prior renewal — and later decided the response time needed to improve. It also works well for sites where a compliance audit or insurance review introduced a stricter SLA requirement mid-cycle. Rather than letting the Premium contract run out and buying Elite from scratch, this SKU adds Elite benefits for the remaining coverage period at a lower cost than purchasing Elite outright.
FC-10-0070F-204-02-12 is an electronic subscription key. DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation code within 0–1 business days of payment. Log in to support.fortinet.com under Asset Management, locate the FortiGate 70F by serial number, and apply the upgrade key. The account reflects Elite status immediately and the monitoring portal becomes available within the same session.
If there is no active FortiCare Premium on the unit, the correct product is FC-10-0070F-284-02-12 (Elite standalone, 1-year). Buying the upgrade SKU without Premium already in place will result in a registration error. For the same reason, customers on FortiCare Essential need to let that contract expire and purchase 284 outright — there is no upgrade path directly from Essential to Elite.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner operating across Canada. License orders are fulfilled electronically — there is no physical shipment and no freight cost. If you have questions about eligibility (confirming your existing Premium is still active before purchase) or need to align this upgrade with a fleet of FortiGate 70F units under the same account, the team can assist before the order is placed. Keys typically arrive same-day for orders during business hours.
No. This SKU is strictly an upgrade from Premium to Elite. The target FortiGate 70F must have active FortiCare Premium already registered in your Fortinet Support account. If Premium is expired or not present, you need to purchase FC-10-0070F-284-02-12 (Elite standalone) instead.
For Priority 1 (critical) cases — defined as a production system completely down with no workaround — Fortinet TAC commits to an initial engineer response within 1 hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Premium’s SLA for the same scenario is 4 hours. Both tiers have 24×7 phone access; Elite just guarantees faster engagement on the highest-severity issues.
No. The upgrade applies to the current contract period and does not add time. If your Premium contract expires in 8 months, applying this upgrade gives you Elite-level coverage for those 8 months. At renewal you would purchase a full Elite term (FC-10-0070F-284-02-12) to continue Elite coverage.
Yes. Fortinet software licenses are not geography-locked. The upgrade key registers against a serial number at support.fortinet.com and is valid regardless of where the FortiGate 70F is physically installed.
FortiCare and FortiGuard are separate license categories. Upgrading from Premium to Elite has no effect on FortiGuard services (IPS, AV, URL filtering, etc.). Both sets of subscriptions are listed independently in Asset Management and renew on their own schedules.
