Fortinet FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE FortiCare Premium-to-Elite Upgrade, 5-Year (FC-10-F50GP-204-02-60)

Already covered by FortiCare Premium on your FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE? This five-year upgrade (FC-10-F50GP-204-02-60) layers on the Elite-specific features without replacing the Premium subscription underneath it. You get the 15-minute critical response, dedicated Customer Success Manager, and Elite monitoring portal for the full five-year window at the combined cost of stacking one upgrade on top of existing coverage.

What the Upgrade Activates

Purchasing this upgrade while an active FortiCare Premium subscription exists on the same unit unlocks the Elite-only additions:

• Critical (P1) response time drops from 30 minutes to 15 minutes
• Dedicated Customer Success Manager assigned to your organization
• Priority RMA included — no separate add-on purchase needed
• Extended LTS firmware access for longer-lived stability on FortiOS branches
• Elite monitoring portal with enhanced device health dashboards

Prerequisite: Active FortiCare Premium Required

This SKU (FC-10-F50GP-204-02-60) is an upgrade, not a standalone service. It requires a current and valid FortiCare Premium subscription on the same FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE unit. If Premium has expired or was never purchased, activate Premium first, then apply this upgrade — or contact DataCenter360.ca for bundle options that include Elite outright.

Who Chooses the Upgrade Path

Organizations that originally deployed with FortiCare Premium and have since expanded to environments where faster SLAs and a named support contact matter — financial services, healthcare networks, critical-infrastructure operators — typically pursue the upgrade when renewal comes around rather than letting the gap between Premium and Elite go unaddressed. Locking in a five-year upgrade also hedges against FortiCare price increases over the contract window.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration code electronically to your email within 0–1 business days. Activate through the Fortinet Support Portal linked to the target unit.
