Fortinet FortiGate 81F FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0081F-189-02-12)

Moving firewall configurations between vendors — or consolidating multiple devices after a merger — is one of the more tedious parts of a network refresh. The FortiConverter Service (FC-10-0081F-189-02-12) is a one-time conversion entitlement that automates translation of existing firewall policy sets into the FortiGate 81F’s native configuration format, reducing a multi-week manual porting project to a fraction of the time.

What FortiConverter Does

FortiConverter is Fortinet’s professional migration tool. It reads policy exports from supported third-party firewalls — including Cisco ASA, Check Point, Palo Alto, and others — and generates a FortiGate-compatible configuration file you can import directly. The tool handles address objects, NAT rules, security policies, and VPN parameters, flagging any constructs it cannot translate automatically so your team can review edge cases rather than rebuilding the entire ruleset by hand.

This SKU is a one-time service entitlement valid for a single migration on a single FortiGate 81F. It is not a subscription that renews annually; the license covers one conversion event.

Who Needs This

Organizations replacing an end-of-life firewall from another vendor with a FortiGate 81F benefit most. If your current ruleset has hundreds of policies — address groups, service objects, NAT mappings — FortiConverter compresses the migration timeline and reduces the risk of policy errors that can open security gaps during a manual rebuild.

Activation and Delivery

FortiConverter is delivered electronically, typically within one business day of order. DataCenter360.ca sends the activation key by email. You register the key in the Fortinet support portal, download the FortiConverter tool, and run the migration offline before importing to your FortiGate 81F. No hardware ships.
