Fortinet FortiAP-831F FortiCare Elite Upgrade, 3-Year (FC-10-P831F-204-02-36)

Locking in three years of support at Elite level protects more than the access point. It locks in the response and replacement guarantees your wireless infrastructure depends on across the full contract window. The FortiAP-831F 3-Year FortiCare Elite Upgrade (FC-10-P831F-204-02-36) moves an existing 3-year FortiCare Premium contract on the FAP-831F to Elite coverage for the remainder of that term.

What this upgrade delivers

The 3-year Elite Upgrade applies the same changes as the 1-year version, but extended across a longer commitment: P1 critical-issue response shortens to 15 minutes, hardware replacement steps up to 4-hour advance shipment, and Priority RMA is bundled rather than added separately. Phone support stays 24/7 and all firmware, patches, and portal access carry over from Premium unchanged. An active 3-year FortiCare Premium contract on the specific FortiAP-831F serial number is required.

Why choose the 3-year upgrade

Sites that deploy the FortiAP-831F in environments where wireless continuity is non-negotiable, dense venues, hospital floors, trading floors, or anything with a contractual uptime commitment, benefit from locking Elite coverage in at the same horizon as the hardware lifecycle. Rather than upgrading annually and managing separate renewal dates, the 3-year option aligns support at Elite level with the broader refresh cycle.

Activation and delivery

The upgrade is issued electronically after order, typically within 0-1 business days. Activation is handled through the Fortinet FortiCare portal by linking the upgrade key to the serial number of the FAP-831F holding the current Premium contract. No physical shipment. The Elite coverage becomes effective immediately on registration.
