Authorized Partner for United States (US)Some teams running a FortiGate 401F-DC are not ready to commit to a multi-year Elite contract, or their budget cycle runs annually and multi-year purchases need a separate approval path. The FC-10-FD4H1-204-02-12 is built for that situation: a 1-year upgrade from FortiCare Premium to Elite that delivers the full set of Elite benefits on a shorter horizon, with the option to renew at the end of the year.
Applied to the FortiGate 401F-DC, this 1-year upgrade moves the device from FortiCare Premium to Elite, Fortinet’s highest support tier. For the duration of the term it adds:
The FortiCare tier comparison below shows what changes when you move from Premium to Elite on the 401F-DC.
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | Next business day | 1 hour |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hardware replacement | Return-and-replace | Advance swap | Advance swap |
| Priority RMA add-on eligibility | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware, tools & portal access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |
The 1-year term suits two situations: organizations evaluating Elite before committing to 3 or 5 years, and procurement teams whose financial controls require annual renewal authorization. It also works well mid-contract when an existing Premium subscription is coming up for renewal and the business wants to trial Elite benefits for a single budget year before deciding on a longer upgrade commitment.
This is an electronic subscription with no physical component. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key, which you register in the Fortinet Support Portal against the 401F-DC serial number. Activation is immediate; the upgrade overlays the existing Premium contract and takes effect without a support gap. An active FortiCare Premium subscription on the same unit is a prerequisite for registration.
If your 401F-DC is covered by a FortiCare-only Premium subscription and you want everything in one place, the UTP bundle (FC-10-FD4H1-950-02-12) or Enterprise bundle (FC-10-FD4H1-809-02-12) consolidates FortiGuard threat-intelligence services with FortiCare Premium. The bundle does not include Elite, so if Elite SLAs are a requirement, this upgrade applies on top. Compare the cost of the upgrade plus your current Premium arrangement against a full bundle to find the better fit for your contract cycle.
DataCenter360.ca provides same-day electronic delivery on FortiCare upgrade licenses with no minimum order. The FC-10-FD4H1-204-02-12 is available at the current Fortinet partner price, and orders are fulfilled by a Fortinet Select Partner with direct access to the registration portal. For teams managing annual renewal calendars, we can also set a reminder before this 1-year term expires so the next upgrade is ordered before any lapse in Elite coverage occurs.
Not by extending the same contract; each term is a separate SKU. When the 1-year term expires, you purchase the 3-year (FC-10-FD4H1-204-02-36) or 5-year (FC-10-FD4H1-204-02-60) upgrade for the next cycle, provided your Premium base contract is also renewed to match.
Yes. This SKU is an upgrade, not a standalone Elite contract. The FortiGate 401F-DC must have an active FortiCare Premium subscription before you can register FC-10-FD4H1-204-02-12.
FortiCare Elite guarantees a 1-hour response for P1/P2 (critical and high) cases, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, compared to next-business-day under Premium for the same severity levels.
Yes. FortiCare upgrade licenses are sold worldwide and delivered electronically. There is no geographic restriction on where the 401F-DC is deployed or where the buyer is located.
No. This upgrade only changes the FortiCare support tier. FortiGuard subscriptions (IPS, AntiVirus, Web Filtering, etc.) are separate and unaffected by the FortiCare level.
