Fortinet FortiAP-231F FortiCare Premium-to-Elite Upgrade, 1-Year (FC-10-PF231-204-02-12)

Most FortiAP-231F deployments start with FortiCare Premium. As those sites grow, as the AP takes on more workloads, or as SLA expectations tighten internally, the next step is not buying a duplicate contract. FC-10-PF231-204-02-12 is the defined upgrade path: it adds Elite benefits to your existing Premium without requiring a full contract replacement.

What This Upgrade Adds

FC-10-PF231-204-02-12 runs concurrently with your active FortiCare Premium contract on the same serial number. It adds:

• 2-hour initial response SLA available around the clock, replacing Premium’s standard response window.
• Dedicated case manager for escalated or complex support issues.
• Proactive Fortinet engagement on high-priority open tickets.

All existing Premium entitlements, including 24/7 TAC access, advance hardware replacement, and firmware updates, remain in place and are not affected by the upgrade.

Who This Is For

This contract is specifically for organizations that already hold active FortiCare Premium on a FAP-231F unit. It suits teams that initially purchased Premium when the deployment was small or lower-stakes, and now operate the 231F in an environment where a 2-hour response commitment and a named escalation contact would improve their recovery process.

The upgrade is also the more cost-effective route when you have time remaining on an active Premium contract. If your Premium has already expired, purchase FC-10-PF231-284-02-12 (FortiCare Elite, 1-Year) directly.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers this license key electronically within 0 to 1 business days. In Fortinet’s support portal, register the key against the same serial number as your current FortiCare Premium contract. The upgrade activates on registration and runs concurrently with your existing coverage period. No hardware is shipped; entitlement is tracked entirely in Fortinet’s system.

Upgrade vs. Full Elite Contract

If you have active Premium on the FAP-231F and want Elite benefits for the remaining coverage period, FC-10-PF231-204-02-12 is the efficient route. If your Premium is expired or if you are adding a fresh FAP-231F with no existing support, use FC-10-PF231-284-02-12 (standalone Elite). Both are available at DataCenter360.ca.
