Fortinet FortiCare Premium to Elite Upgrade, 5-Year (FC1-10-M3004-204-02-60)

For a FortiManager M3004 instance managing up to 10 devices or Virtual Domains that is expected to run in production well into the next hardware refresh cycle, the 5-year Elite upgrade eliminates five years of renewal decisions in a single purchase. The 15-minute critical-issue SLA and Elite monitoring portal access are in effect for the entire term from day one.

Overview

The FC1 5-year Elite upgrade applies to FortiManager M3004 instances at the low-capacity tier, covering up to 10 managed devices or Virtual Domains. Elite delivers two improvements over Premium: critical-issue response drops from 1 hour to 15 minutes, and the Elite monitoring portal with extended Long-Term Support coverage becomes available. At the 5-year term, those improvements are locked in for the longest available period, and all existing Premium entitlements, including telephone support, advanced RMA, and firmware access, continue without interruption.

Who it suits

Organizations with strict change-control or procurement processes where annual renewals generate disproportionate administrative effort will benefit most from this SKU. The 5-year term at the FC1 tier, up to 10 managed devices or Virtual Domains, is also well suited to environments where the FortiManager M3004 underpins critical network policy and a fixed, predictable support cost over the asset lifespan is a finance requirement.
