United States (US) Authorized DistributorFive years of FortiCare Elite coverage on the FG-50G-SFP in a single purchase. FC-10-F50GS-204-02-60 upgrades an existing FortiCare Premium subscription to Elite for the full life of a typical firewall deployment, locking in 2-hour on-site replacement, LTS firmware access, and the Elite monitoring portal at the lowest per-year cost across all available upgrade terms.
This is a FortiCare Elite upgrade subscription spanning 5 years for the FG-50G-SFP. It requires active FortiCare Premium on the same unit and transitions the support tier to Elite for the entire term. Key improvements over Premium:
This upgrade covers the FortiCare Elite tier. The table below shows how Elite compares to Essential and Premium for the FG-50G-SFP.

| 24/7 telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |

A 5-year upgrade makes sense for organizations that have already committed to the FG-50G-SFP as a long-term platform and want consistent Elite SLAs for the full deployment window. Regulated environments that need LTS firmware over a 5-year compliance cycle benefit from a single purchase that covers the entire period. Finance and procurement teams that prefer budgeting support costs once rather than renewing every 1-3 years find the 5-year term the most straightforward option. Active FortiCare Premium on the unit is a prerequisite, as with all 204-series upgrade licenses.
FC-10-F50GS-204-02-60 is a software subscription with no hardware shipment. The license key is emailed after order and registered through the FortiCare Support Portal against the active Premium contract on the FG-50G-SFP. Electronic delivery is available to customers in any country, typically within 0-1 business days.
If the FG-50G-SFP unit is scheduled for hardware replacement within a few years, a shorter upgrade term or a hardware bundle with integrated Premium support may be a better fit. The 5-year upgrade is the right choice when the hardware is confirmed to stay in place for the full period and Elite SLAs are a firm requirement throughout.

Yes. This is an upgrade add-on that layers Elite SLAs onto an existing Premium contract. FortiCare Premium must be active on the FG-50G-SFP serial number at the time of activation. If Premium is not in place, start with the standalone FortiCare Elite subscription (code -284-) or a hardware bundle that includes Premium coverage.
Multi-year FortiCare terms are priced at a lower per-year rate than annual renewals. Over 5 years, the total outlay is typically lower than purchasing five consecutive 1-year upgrades. Exact savings are reflected in the prices shown on the product page. Contact DataCenter360.ca for multi-unit or volume pricing questions.
Fortinet Long-Term Support branches are maintained release lines that continue receiving security fixes and patches without advancing to the next major or minor feature version. For organizations with change-control policies or compliance requirements that pin the firmware version, LTS firmware is the pathway to staying current on security without upgrading to an untested release.
Yes. FortiCare licenses are tied to the appliance serial number in the FortiCare Support Portal, which operates globally. There is no geographic restriction on purchasing or activating this upgrade. Electronic delivery is available to any country.
FC-10-F50GS-204-02-12 covers 1 year and FC-10-F50GS-204-02-36 covers 3 years of the same upgrade on the FG-50G-SFP. Choose the term that matches how long the unit will stay in service and how far ahead the support budget is locked in.
