Product description

Annual contract cycles suit environments that review support budgets each fiscal year, or teams that want to evaluate Elite coverage before committing to 3 or 5 years. The FC-10-WS50G-204-02-12 is the 1-year version of the FortiCare Premium to Elite upgrade for the FortiWiFi 50G-SFP: it adds Elite-tier benefits for 12 months on top of an active FortiCare Premium contract, with no obligation past the annual term.

What This Upgrade Covers

FC-10-WS50G-204-02-12 requires active FortiCare Premium on the FortiWiFi 50G-SFP (FWF-50G-SFP-A) at activation. For the 1-year term, it adds:

  • 1-hour response SLA for P1 (critical) cases, 24×7
  • Next-business-day advance hardware replacement
  • Elite monitoring portal access for device telemetry and health dashboards
  • Extended long-term software support for the device’s firmware branch

FortiCare Tier Comparison

The upgrade brings coverage to Elite, the top FortiCare tier. Here is how the three tiers compare:

Feature Essential Premium Elite
Critical-issue response Next business day 2 hours 1 hour
24×7 telephone support
Hardware RMA method Return to depot Advance replacement Advance replacement
Priority RMA add-on eligible
Firmware updates, portal & knowledge base
Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal

Who Buys This

The 1-year term fits IT teams on annual budget cycles, managed service providers (MSPs) that standardize on 12-month contracts, or organizations evaluating whether Elite’s hardware replacement speed justifies the cost difference from Premium before committing multi-year. It is also practical for units in temporary or transitional deployments where a multi-year commitment would outlast the hardware’s planned role.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-WS50G-204-02-12 is an electronic license key delivered by e-mail from DataCenter360.ca, typically within one business day of payment. Register the key in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) against the FortiWiFi 50G-SFP serial number that carries active FortiCare Premium. The 1-year Elite term runs from activation. At renewal, the same upgrade key in a 12, 36, or 60-month version can be applied again as long as Premium remains active.

One Service vs. a Full Bundle

The upgrade path requires FortiCare Premium already in place. If not, start with FC-10-WS50G-247 (FortiCare Premium) and then layer this upgrade, or consider a hardware bundle that consolidates both. For environments needing FortiGuard security services alongside support, UTP or Enterprise subscription bundles cover both together and are often simpler to manage over time than separate service keys.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner with the FC-10-WS50G-204-02-12 in stock. The key is delivered electronically and works globally: the covered device can be anywhere. For organizations managing annual renewals across several devices, we can stage keys to arrive at consistent renewal windows rather than scattered activation dates.

Does the 1-year upgrade renew automatically?
No. Fortinet service keys purchased through DataCenter360.ca do not auto-renew. At the end of the 1-year term, coverage reverts to the underlying FortiCare Premium level, assuming Premium is still active. To continue Elite coverage, purchase a new FC-10-WS50G-204 upgrade key before the current term expires and activate it in the Fortinet Support Portal.
How does the 1-year upgrade compare to the 3-year version?
The support entitlements are identical: 1-hour response, NBD advance replacement, Elite portal, and LTS. The difference is duration and total cost. The 3-year and 5-year terms generally offer better value per year. The 1-year option suits annual budget cycles or short evaluation windows before committing to a longer term.
Can this be used alongside a FortiCloud (FortiGate Cloud) subscription?
Yes. FortiCare Elite and FortiCloud (FC-10-WS50G-131) are separate services that run concurrently on the same FortiWiFi 50G-SFP. FortiCloud handles cloud-based management and log retention; FortiCare Elite covers support SLAs and hardware replacement. The two are complementary.
Is this license available outside Canada?
Yes. Fortinet service subscriptions are delivered electronically with no geographic restrictions. DataCenter360.ca ships by e-mail and the covered FortiWiFi 50G-SFP can be in any country.
Does FortiCare Elite include FortiGuard threat intelligence?
No. FortiCare Elite is a support and hardware-replacement SLA contract. FortiGuard services (IPS, antivirus, web filtering) are included in UTP or Enterprise bundle SKUs, not in standalone FortiCare subscriptions.
