Fortinet FortiWiFi 50G-5G-II FortiCare Premium-to-Elite Upgrade, 3-Year (FC-10-W50G5-204-02-36)

When your FortiWiFi 50G-5G-II already carries FortiCare Premium and you need the response time and monitoring access that Premium does not include, FC-10-W50G5-204-02-36 covers the gap for three years. The upgrade activates Elite-tier features on top of your existing Premium contract: the SLA drops from 1 hour to 15 minutes for critical issues, and the Elite monitoring portal becomes available for the device for the full 36-month period.

What This Upgrade Adds

FC-10-W50G5-204-02-36 is a supplemental license that elevates an active FortiCare Premium contract to Elite. The table below shows what changes at each tier:

Who Buys This

A 3-year upgrade is a natural fit when you have a 3-year hardware bundle or FortiCare Premium contract already running and want to align the Elite upgrade to the same expiry. It is also common when a site’s criticality increases mid-cycle — for example, the branch the FWF-50G-5G-II protects expands or starts hosting workloads with stricter uptime requirements — and the 1-hour Premium SLA is no longer acceptable.

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic license delivered by email within 0 to 1 business days from DataCenter360.ca. You apply it in the Fortinet Support Portal under the FWF-50G-5G-II-A serial number. Fortinet handles the co-term math at registration, so the upgrade aligns to your existing Premium contract’s term. The 36-month upgrade period begins on the activation date.

Upgrade vs Standalone Elite

If your FortiCare Premium has expired or you don’t have it in place, purchase the standalone Elite license (FC-10-W50G5-284-02-36) instead — it covers the full Elite tier without requiring a prior contract. The upgrade SKU (this one) is specifically for situations where Premium is active and you want to add the Elite delta to an existing paid contract.
