Fortinet FortiGate 50G-SFP FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F50GS-189-02-12)

The riskiest moment in a firewall swap is the night you move the rules across. FC-10-F50GS-189-02-12 takes that risk off your plate: the FortiConverter Service migrates an existing firewall configuration onto a FortiGate 50G-SFP as a supported, one-time project, so the new device goes live with policies that match the old one instead of a blank slate.

What FortiConverter covers

FortiConverter is Fortinet’s configuration migration service. It converts a third-party or legacy firewall configuration, addresses, policies, NAT rules, and objects, into FortiOS so it can be loaded onto the 50G-SFP. The subscription entitles you to the conversion for one device during the term, with Fortinet’s tooling and process handling the translation that would otherwise be slow and error-prone by hand.

Who needs it

Anyone replacing a competitor’s firewall, or an older FortiGate, with a 50G-SFP and carrying a non-trivial ruleset is the audience. It is most valuable when the existing policy base is large or sensitive enough that a manual rebuild would invite mistakes or extended downtime during the cutover.

Activation and delivery

The service is delivered electronically and registered to your Fortinet account against the 50G-SFP. Nothing ships. It is a migration entitlement rather than an ongoing protection subscription, so once the conversion work is complete its job is essentially done. The license is valid worldwide.

One service or ongoing protection

FortiConverter gets the device into production cleanly; it does not provide day-to-day security inspection. To keep the 50G-SFP protected after cutover, pair it with a UTP or Enterprise bundle for FortiGuard coverage, or add FortiCare Premium support so you have Fortinet’s help desk and RMA backing once the migration is done.
