Authorized Partner for United States (US)Five years of Elite-tier TAC coverage in a single purchase — FC-10-FW51G-204-02-60 upgrades your FortiWiFi 51G from FortiCare Premium to Elite for a 5-year term. If you already have an active Premium contract on your FWF-51G and your support planning runs on a multi-year cycle, this SKU locks in the upgrade without requiring annual renewals at the Elite level.
The 204 upgrade SKU is an add-on to an existing FortiCare Premium contract — it does not replace your Premium subscription but elevates it to the Elite tier for the contracted period. Once applied, the Fortinet Support portal reflects Elite-level coverage on your FWF-51G serial number.
What Elite adds over Premium:
A 5-year term makes sense when your FortiWiFi 51G is part of a longer hardware lifecycle plan and your IT policy requires Elite-level TAC response throughout that window. Organizations managing branch firewalls on 5-year refresh cycles often align support contracts to hardware planned life — one renewal point per appliance, contracted in advance. It also provides cost predictability over a period when Fortinet list prices can change.
This SKU is also appropriate for businesses that tried Premium and want to move to Elite at contract renewal, committing to the higher tier for the full term.
DataCenter360.ca delivers the upgrade key electronically within 0–1 business days. You apply the key through support.fortinet.com under your FWF-51G device record. Because this is an upgrade, your FortiCare Premium base contract must be active and valid at the time of activation — the Elite tier applies immediately and runs for 5 years from the registration date. The base Premium contract must also remain active for the duration.
If your FortiCare Premium has already lapsed, you cannot apply the 204 upgrade path. In that case, the standalone Elite contract (FC-10-FW51G-284-02-12 for 1-year) is the appropriate SKU — it starts fresh without a Premium prerequisite. If you prefer shorter terms on the upgrade, FC-10-FW51G-204-02-12 covers 1 year and FC-10-FW51G-204-02-36 covers 3 years.
DataCenter360.ca is a certified Fortinet Select Partner with customers across Canada and internationally. For multi-year license purchases, we confirm contract term alignment with your existing device registration before the order is processed — minimizing the chance of coverage date mismatches. All license keys are sourced through authorized Fortinet channels and registered under your serial number at purchase. If your renewal is coming up and you’re evaluating support tiers, contact us and we’ll confirm the right SKU for your contract situation before you commit.
The 204 upgrade requires an active Premium base contract for the full upgrade term. If Premium lapses mid-term, the Elite upgrade may no longer apply and your coverage could revert or lapse. It’s important to keep the base Premium contract current for the same period as the upgrade. Contact Fortinet TAC or your partner (DataCenter360.ca) if you need to reconcile contract dates.
No. FC-10-FW51G-204-02-60 is an upgrade that requires an active FortiCare Premium contract — it layers Elite features on top. FC-10-FW51G-284-02-60 is a standalone 5-year Elite contract with no Premium prerequisite. If you’re starting a new contract or your Premium has lapsed, use the standalone SKU instead.
Yes. FortiCare covers the FWF-51G as a single unit. The upgrade applies to the entire appliance — the NGFW engine and the integrated Wi-Fi 6 radio are both covered under one contract.
No. FortiCare Elite (and the Premium-to-Elite upgrade) is a support and maintenance contract. It does not include FortiGuard security subscriptions such as IPS, web filtering, AV, or DNS filtering. Those are separate subscriptions available as individual licenses or as part of UTP and Enterprise bundles for the FWF-51G.
Fortinet support contracts are generally not downgraded mid-term. Once the Elite upgrade is activated, it runs for the full 5-year period. At renewal, you can choose a different tier. If you have questions about contract modifications, contact your authorized Fortinet partner.
