• 15-minute critical response SLA for P1/P2 cases, around the clock

• Full firmware update access and Fortinet support portal
• Elite monitoring portal and Extended Long-Term Support firmware tracks

FortiCare Tier Comparison

This 1-year subscription places your FortiWiFi 50G on the Elite tier. The table below summarizes what each tier provides:

Who Buys a 1-Year FortiCare Elite Term

The annual term suits a few situations well: organizations evaluating whether Elite-tier response is worth the premium before committing to three or five years; MSPs covering a client site on a single-year contract; and IT teams whose budgets reset annually and need year-by-year approval for premium support tiers. If you find the 15-minute response genuinely changes how you handle incidents, the FC-10-FW50G-284-02-36 (3-year) and FC-10-FW50G-284-02-60 (5-year) options reduce the per-year cost.

Activation and Delivery

This is a virtual product. DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration key by email within 0-1 business days of your order. Activate at support.fortinet.com under Asset Management: find your FortiWiFi 50G by serial number and enter the registration code. The 12-month term starts on the activation date.

One Service vs. the Full Bundle

FortiCare Elite is a support subscription, not a security subscription. It does not activate FortiGuard services like IPS, AV, or web filtering. If both support and security services are needed, the FortiWiFi 50G UTP bundle (FC-10-FW50G-950-02-12) bundles FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection with FortiCare. FortiCare Elite stands on its own when your FortiGuard coverage is already handled through a bundle or hardware purchase.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

Annual support subscriptions are a routine purchase for IT teams that align renewals with their fiscal calendar. DataCenter360.ca processes most license orders the same business day, with confirmation through our Fortinet partner portal. If you’re currently on FortiCare Premium and want to move to Elite immediately rather than waiting for renewal, the FC-10-FW50G-204-02-12 upgrade SKU is an option worth comparing first.
