Authorized Partner for United States (US)Already covered by FortiCare Premium for your FortiGate 71F but need Elite-tier response for the coming year? The 1-year Premium-to-Elite upgrade (FC-10-0071F-204-02-12) adds exactly that: a 1-hour critical response SLA and Elite monitoring access on top of an existing Premium contract, without replacing it. It is a practical option for organizations that want to evaluate Elite-level support before committing to a longer term, or where a short-term compliance requirement calls for the faster SLA.
FC-10-0071F-204-02-12 requires an active FortiCare Premium subscription on the same FortiGate 71F. The 1-year upgrade elevates the device’s support to FortiCare Elite by adding:
All existing Premium capabilities — 24×7 telephone support, next-business-day RMA, firmware updates — continue unchanged.
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 4 hours | 1 hour |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hardware RMA | Next business day | Next business day | Next business day |
| Priority RMA add-on eligibility | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware, portal & tools access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |

A 1-year FortiCare Premium-to-Elite upgrade for the FortiGate 71F. It requires an active FortiCare Premium subscription and adds Elite-level capabilities — 1-hour critical response, the Elite monitoring portal, and extended LTS firmware access — for 12 months.
No. The Premium-to-Elite upgrade is additive. Your Premium contract stays active; this SKU layers Elite-tier capabilities on top of it. If you cancel or let Premium lapse while this upgrade is still active, the Elite entitlements will not function correctly. Both contracts need to remain current.
The standalone Elite SKU (FC-10-0071F-284-02-12) does not require any existing contract — it covers the FortiGate 71F with Elite from scratch. This upgrade SKU requires an active Premium subscription and is typically less expensive since Fortinet already has Premium on the device. If there is no Premium in place, purchase the standalone Elite product.
Yes. FortiCare licenses are electronic and region-independent. DataCenter360.ca delivers to customers in any country within 0–1 business days of order confirmation. Activation is completed through Fortinet’s global support portal.
If your FortiGate 71F handles critical traffic where a 1-hour escalation path is required, Elite is the appropriate tier. If 4-hour response is acceptable and there is no compliance mandate for faster SLA, FortiCare Premium renewal (FC-10-0071F-247-02-12) is the lower-cost path. The tier comparison table above outlines the specific differences to inform the decision.
