Moving from a Cisco ASA, Check Point, or Palo Alto Networks firewall to the FortiGate 81E-POE means rewriting policy sets that may have accumulated over years. FortiConverter removes most of that manual work. The FC-10-0081E-189-02-12 subscription gives you access to Fortinet’s configuration conversion tool for one policy migration project on the 81E-POE platform.
FortiConverter is a web-based tool that ingests your existing firewall’s configuration export and translates security policies, NAT rules, address objects, and service definitions into a FortiOS-compatible format. The output is an importable configuration file for the FortiGate 81E-POE, reducing migration time and the risk of policy gaps introduced by hand-keying hundreds of rules. Supported source platforms include Cisco ASA, Check Point, Juniper, and others documented in the FortiConverter compatibility matrix.
This service is practical for any team migrating an existing firewall to the FortiGate 81E-POE for the first time. It suits both in-house IT administrators and managed service providers onboarding a new Fortinet deployment. The tool handles the structural conversion; your team still reviews and validates the output before pushing it to the device, which is the right approach for any production migration.
The license key arrives by email within 0–1 business days of purchase and registers at support.fortinet.com. FortiConverter itself runs as a hosted tool — no local software installation is required. The term begins on activation; for a one-time migration project, most teams activate, complete the conversion, and move on without needing a renewal.
FortiConverter is a migration utility, not an ongoing security subscription. After the configuration is imported and the 81E-POE is live, consider adding a security bundle such as the FortiGate 81E-POE UTP (FC-10-0081E-950-02-12) or FortiCare Premium (FC-10-0081E-247-02-12) to keep the device protected and supported going forward.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner. We carry the full Fortinet license catalog, including FortiConverter for the 81E-POE, and process orders with same-day turnaround on business days.

FortiConverter supports migration from Cisco ASA, Check Point, Juniper SRX/Netscreen, Palo Alto Networks, and several other vendors. Check the current FortiConverter release notes at support.fortinet.com for the full compatibility matrix before starting your project.
The subscription is intended for a single device migration project. If you need to convert configurations for multiple devices or separate projects, confirm the licensing scope with Fortinet before purchasing additional seats.
FortiConverter produces a translated configuration, but it should always be reviewed before applying to a production device. Address objects, service groups, and NAT rules that don’t map cleanly to FortiOS will be flagged for manual review. Think of it as a 90% solution that still requires IT validation.
FC-10-0081E-189-02-12 is specifically licensed for the FortiGate 81E-POE. FortiConverter for other models carries a different part number tied to that model’s prefix. Contact DataCenter360.ca if you need a FortiConverter license for a different device.
Yes. This is a software subscription with no physical component. The license key is emailed within 0–1 business days and activates through the FortiCare portal, giving you access to the FortiConverter tool online.
