Fortinet FortiGate 50G FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-GT50G-189-02-12)

Replacing an existing firewall with a FortiGate 50G means moving a working configuration without losing rules in the handoff. The FortiGate 50G 1-Year FortiConverter Service (FC-10-GT50G-189-02-12) covers that migration. It provides access to FortiConverter for a one-time configuration conversion to the 50G, so policies, address objects, and routes come across in a structured way instead of being retyped by hand. It is a subscription entitlement only, with no hardware and electronic delivery to any country.

What this service covers

FortiConverter is a migration tool, not an ongoing subscription that runs on the box. The entitlement gives you:

• Configuration translation: a supported third-party or legacy firewall config is converted into FortiOS for the 50G.
• One conversion within the term: the migration work is performed while the subscription is active.
• Lower cutover risk: an automated, repeatable conversion reduces the chance of a dropped rule or a typo that a manual rebuild invites.
• A faster start: a translated config in hand shortens the bench time before the 50G goes into production.

Who needs it

This fits anyone swapping a Cisco, Palo Alto, Check Point, SonicWall, or older Fortinet device for a 50G and wanting the existing rulebase carried forward. It is just as useful to an integrator standardizing a client on Fortinet, or to a team whose policy set is large enough that rebuilding it by hand is not worth the hours or the risk.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement is issued electronically and registered to the 50G by serial number. The one-year window is the period in which the conversion is carried out. Nothing ships, and the service applies to the device the license is bound to.

A one-time migration, not ongoing protection

FortiConverter is a project tool for the move itself. It is separate from the FortiGuard subscriptions that protect the 50G day to day and from the FortiGate Cloud management that runs it afterward. Once the configuration is on the device, ongoing security comes from a UTP or Enterprise bundle, and many buyers line one of those up to switch on the moment the migrated config goes live.
