United States (US) Authorized DistributorSome support decisions make more sense at a multi-year horizon. FC-10-F50GS-204-02-36 upgrades FortiCare Premium to Elite on the FG-50G-SFP for three consecutive years, covering a typical network refresh cycle without annual renewals. You get 2-hour on-site replacement, LTS firmware access, and the Elite monitoring portal locked in for 36 months at a lower per-year cost than three separate 1-year purchases.
This is a FortiCare Elite upgrade subscription spanning 3 years for the FG-50G-SFP. It applies to a unit with active FortiCare Premium coverage, transitioning the support tier to Elite for the full period. Improvements over Premium:
This product covers the FortiCare Elite tier. The table below places it alongside Essential and Premium for the FG-50G-SFP.

Teams that have committed to keeping an FG-50G-SFP in place for 3 years or more and need consistent Elite SLAs throughout. Regulated-industry environments where LTS firmware is a compliance requirement over an extended period. Organizations that want to budget support costs upfront and avoid year-over-year renewal friction. Active FortiCare Premium on the same unit serial number is a prerequisite for this upgrade.
FC-10-F50GS-204-02-36 is a software subscription with no physical component. The license key is emailed after purchase and registered in the FortiCare Support Portal against the existing Premium contract. Delivery is electronic and available to businesses in any country, typically within 0-1 business days of order confirmation.
If the FG-50G-SFP is at a contract renewal or a hardware replacement is planned, a UTP or Enterprise bundle may include Premium support as the base tier and eliminate the need for a separate upgrade. This license is the right choice when Premium is actively running on a deployed unit and only the support ceiling needs to change for a 3-year window.
DataCenter360.ca carries the 3-year Elite upgrade for the FG-50G-SFP as a stocked item. As a Fortinet Select Partner, orders process quickly and electronic keys reach customers worldwide. Multi-year pricing reflects a per-year saving over the equivalent annual subscription.
Yes, this is an upgrade add-on. Active FortiCare Premium must already be in place on the same FG-50G-SFP serial number. If Premium is not active, the standalone FortiCare Elite or a new hardware bundle is the better starting point.
Fortinet typically prices multi-year terms at a lower per-year rate than consecutive 1-year renewals. Locking in for 3 years also removes renewal admin overhead for two years. Exact pricing is shown on the product page; contact DataCenter360.ca for volume pricing questions.
LTS branches are long-running firmware lines that receive security patches and critical fixes without advancing to the next feature version. Teams in regulated industries or with change-controlled environments use LTS to stay on a stable, validated release for an extended period while still receiving security maintenance.
Yes. FortiCare license keys are applied to the unit serial number in the FortiCare Support Portal, which is globally accessible. The upgrade can be ordered from any country, and delivery is electronic with no geographic restriction.
Both are available. FC-10-F50GS-204-02-12 covers 1 year and FC-10-F50GS-204-02-60 covers 5 years of the same Premium-to-Elite upgrade for the FG-50G-SFP. All three terms are carried at DataCenter360.ca.
