Fortinet FortiAP-223E FortiCare Premium-to-Elite Upgrade, 1-Year (FC-10-PE223-204-02-12)

FortiCare Premium already covers the basics for the FAP-223E. If you bought it initially and your requirements have since changed, the Premium-to-Elite Upgrade (FC-10-PE223-204-02-12) converts your existing entitlement without forcing a full contract repurchase.

What This Upgrade Adds

FC-10-PE223-204-02-12 is a one-year incremental contract that layers Elite benefits on top of an active FortiCare Premium subscription for the FortiAP-223E. It does not replace your existing Premium contract; it extends its scope. The upgrade adds:

• 2-hour initial response SLA on top of Premium’s standard response window.
• Dedicated case management for active or complex support issues.
• Proactive engagement from Fortinet on high-priority open tickets.

Standard FortiCare Premium benefits — 24/7 TAC access, advance hardware replacement, firmware updates — continue uninterrupted.

Who Needs This

This contract suits organizations that originally purchased Premium for the FAP-223E when standard response times were acceptable, and have since taken on wireless-dependent workloads, added more users, or updated their internal recovery objectives. Rather than purchasing a full Elite contract over an already-active Premium, the upgrade is the cost-effective path.

Fortinet requires an active FortiCare Premium entitlement on the target serial number at the time of registration. If the Premium contract has lapsed, the standalone Elite (FC-10-PE223-284-02-12) is the correct product.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key electronically within 0 to 1 business days. Apply it in the Fortinet support portal against the same serial number as your existing Premium contract. The upgrade activates from that registration date and runs concurrently with the Premium term. No hardware is involved.

Upgrade vs. Full Elite Contract

If you already hold an active Premium contract, the upgrade avoids overlap and costs less than purchasing outright Elite coverage. If your Premium has already expired, use FC-10-PE223-284-02-12 (FortiCare Elite, 1-Year) instead, which covers all Elite benefits without a Premium prerequisite.
