Product description

A 3-year window covers most deployment refresh cycles and gives IT teams enough runway to evaluate the impact of Elite-tier response before making a longer commitment. FC-10-G70GP-204-02-36 upgrades an existing FortiCare Premium contract on the FortiGate 70G-PoE to the Elite tier for three years, adding 15-minute critical response and priority advance RMA on top of the existing Premium structure.

What the Elite Upgrade Adds

FortiCare Premium already provides 24×7 coverage with 4-hour critical response. This 3-year upgrade to Elite adds:

  • 15-minute critical-issue response — Fortinet’s fastest response time, applicable to production-down and security-breach events.
  • Priority advance RMA — hardware replacement is expedited ahead of standard and next-business-day queues when the firewall fails.
  • Elite monitoring portal and extended LTS — access to Fortinet’s Elite tools and long-term stability firmware releases for three years.

The Premium contract remains active; this upgrade is layered on top of it for the 36-month duration. Both the Premium contract and this upgrade SKU need to be renewed together to maintain Elite response at the end of the term.

FortiCare Support Tier Comparison

FC-10-G70GP-204-02-36 elevates your FortiGate 70G-PoE from FortiCare Premium to the Elite tier. Here is what changes at each level.

Feature Essential Premium Elite
Critical-issue response Next business day 4 hours 15 minutes
Telephone support Business hours 24×7 24×7
Hardware replacement RMA Standard Advance next-business-day Priority advance
Priority RMA add-on eligible Included
Firmware, tools and support portal
Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal

Who Should Upgrade

The 3-year term is a practical middle ground for organizations where the FortiGate 70G-PoE has become a production dependency but where a 5-year commitment needs management approval. It suits IT teams handling multi-site rollouts who want to pilot Elite at key locations for a full project cycle before deciding on the 5-year option, and for organizations with 3-year hardware refresh schedules who want support and hardware lifecycles to align.

If the 70G-PoE is a non-critical or secondary device, FortiCare Premium (FC-10-G70GP-247-02-36) covers the support need without the Elite premium.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-G70GP-204-02-36 requires an active FortiCare Premium contract on the same FortiGate 70G-PoE serial number at activation. DataCenter360.ca provides the license key and instructions electronically, typically within 0–1 business days of order confirmation. Activation is completed through the FortiCare portal. If Premium has lapsed, it must be renewed first.

What is FC-10-G70GP-204-02-36?

A 3-year upgrade license that moves an active FortiCare Premium subscription on the FortiGate 70G-PoE to the Elite tier, adding 15-minute critical response and priority advance RMA for 36 months.

Do I need an existing FortiCare Premium contract?

Yes. An active FortiCare Premium (FC-10-G70GP-247-02-xx) on the same FortiGate 70G-PoE serial number is required at the time of activation. This is an upgrade, not a standalone contract.

What does FortiCare Elite add over Premium?

Elite moves the critical-issue response from 4 hours to 15 minutes, upgrades RMA to priority advance, and adds the Elite monitoring portal with extended long-term support releases.

Can I switch to the 5-year upgrade later?

At renewal after the 3-year term, you can renew with a 1-year, 3-year, or 5-year upgrade SKU. There is no requirement to renew with the same term length.

Is this available outside Canada?

Yes. FortiCare upgrade subscriptions are available worldwide. DataCenter360.ca delivers license keys electronically to any country within 0–1 business days of order confirmation.
