Product description

Already running FortiCare Premium on a FortiGate 80F and need Elite-tier response for a 3-year period? FC-10-0080F-204-02-36 steps up your existing coverage without a redundant purchase. The upgrade closes the gap from Premium’s 4-hour SLA to Elite’s 1-hour guarantee, adds LTS firmware access, and enables the Elite monitoring portal for a 36-month term.

What This Upgrade Provides

The Premium-to-Elite upgrade applies to an active FortiCare Premium contract on the same FG-80F serial number. It moves the service from Fortinet’s middle tier to the top tier by adding a 1-hour P1 response SLA, Priority RMA add-on eligibility, extended LTS firmware releases, and the Elite monitoring portal. The underlying Premium features, including 24×7 phone support, NBD advance-exchange RMA, and portal access, remain unchanged.

The FortiCare tiers, for reference:

Feature Essential Premium Elite
Critical-issue response time Next business day 4 hours 1 hour
24×7 telephone support
Hardware replacement (RMA) Next business day Next business day Next business day
Priority RMA add-on eligible
Firmware, tools and portal access
Extended LTS support and Elite monitoring portal

Who Buys This

IT teams that have purchased a UTP or Enterprise bundle (which includes FortiCare Premium) and now need to close the SLA gap to Elite. Also common in managed service contexts where the customer contract specifies sub-hour support, or where compliance frameworks require documented 1-hour TAC escalation capability. The 3-year term aligns with most hardware refresh cycles and avoids annual renewal friction.

Activation and Delivery

This upgrade requires an active FortiCare Premium contract on the same FG-80F serial number before activation. The license is electronic, delivered within 0 to 1 business days of purchase. Activation is completed at support.fortinet.com, where the upgrade is bound to the matched serial number. The 36-month Elite upgrade term begins on the activation date.

Upgrade vs. Buying Full Elite

If the FG-80F does not have active FortiCare Premium, this upgrade does not apply. The standalone FortiCare Elite SKU (FC-10-0080F-284-02-36) covers the same Elite tier from scratch. If security subscriptions are also needed, a UTP (FC-10-0080F-950-02-12) or Enterprise (FC-10-0080F-809-02-12) bundle includes Premium and FortiGuard services together, making this upgrade a natural addition once those bundles are active.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner shipping license codes electronically to customers worldwide within 0 to 1 business days. If you are unsure whether your current contract qualifies, contact our team before ordering and we will verify your FG-80F contract status against the serial number.

What are the prerequisites for this upgrade?

You must have an active FortiCare Premium contract on the same FortiGate 80F serial number. Without Premium as the base, the upgrade code cannot be activated. Use the standalone Elite SKU (FC-10-0080F-284-02-36) if you do not have Premium in place.

What changes after the upgrade is applied?

The P1 response SLA improves from 4 hours to 1 hour. You gain eligibility for the Priority RMA add-on, access to extended LTS firmware, and the Elite monitoring portal. Existing Premium features, including 24×7 phone support and NBD RMA, continue unchanged.

Is this available to customers outside Canada?

Yes. FC-10-0080F-204-02-36 is an electronic license available worldwide. DataCenter360.ca delivers activation codes to customers in any country within 0 to 1 business days.

Does this include FortiGuard security subscriptions?

No. This is a support tier upgrade only and does not add IPS, antivirus, or web-filtering feeds. FortiGuard security services require a separate subscription or an all-in-one bundle such as UTP or Enterprise.

Can I use this upgrade if my FG-80F already has a UTP or Enterprise bundle?

Yes. UTP and Enterprise bundles include FortiCare Premium as their support component, which qualifies as the required Premium base. This upgrade adds Elite-tier response and LTS firmware on top of your existing bundle coverage.
