Product description

If you already hold FortiCare Premium for a FortiAP-C24JE and your support requirements have shifted upward — whether due to a site consolidation, a stricter SLA policy, or a change in how critical that AP’s uptime has become — this contract (FC-10-AP024-204-02-12) converts your active Premium to Elite without purchasing a full new term. The result is a 15-minute P1 response SLA, same-day advance hardware exchange, and a dedicated TAC engineer for the duration of the existing Premium contract. Note that this SKU requires an active FortiCare Premium contract (FC-10-AP024-247-02-12) on the same unit; it cannot be purchased as a standalone service.

What the upgrade adds

FortiCare Elite for the FortiAP-C24JE delivers three concrete improvements over Premium: P1 critical-case response drops from 1 hour to 15 minutes; hardware replacement steps up from next-business-day advance exchange to same-day advance exchange; and a dedicated TAC engineer is assigned so that support interactions are handled by someone already familiar with your account and deployment. Firmware entitlement and portal access remain unchanged from Premium — those are already included at the Premium level.

Who needs this upgrade

FortiCare Premium is sufficient for most FortiAP-C24JE deployments. The Premium-to-Elite upgrade is the right choice when an AP transitions from a low-criticality role to one where downtime has a measurable business impact: a location that has consolidated from multiple APs to a single C24JE, a site with a contracted wireless uptime requirement, or a managed services environment where the SLA to the end customer exceeds what Premium’s 1-hour P1 covers. Purchasing the upgrade rather than a fresh Elite contract avoids losing any unexpired term from the existing Premium.

Activation and delivery

This contract delivers electronically within 0–1 business days. The upgrade key is applied through Fortinet’s support portal to the same serial number that holds the Premium contract. The Elite entitlement is active immediately on registration. DataCenter360.ca ships to any country; no geographic restriction applies to FortiCare contract purchases or registrations.

Is an existing FortiCare Premium contract required to purchase this upgrade?
Yes. FC-10-AP024-204-02-12 is an upgrade from FortiCare Premium to Elite and requires an active FortiCare Premium contract (FC-10-AP024-247-02-12) registered to the same FortiAP-C24JE serial number. If no Premium contract is active, you should purchase FC-10-AP024-284-02-12, which is a full FortiCare Elite contract for a new term rather than an upgrade.

What changes after applying the Premium to Elite upgrade?
After registering the upgrade key, the FortiAP-C24JE unit’s support entitlement changes from FortiCare Premium to Elite for the remainder of the contract term. Specifically: P1 response drops from 1 hour to 15 minutes, hardware replacement changes from next-business-day advance exchange to same-day advance exchange, and a dedicated TAC engineer is assigned to the account.

Does this upgrade extend the contract term?
No. FC-10-AP024-204-02-12 upgrades the service tier, not the term. The contract expiry date remains the same as the underlying FortiCare Premium contract. To extend the term at the Elite level, you would renew with FC-10-AP024-284-02-12 before the current contract lapses.

Can I apply this upgrade to FortiAP-C24JE units purchased from another reseller?
Yes. FortiCare contracts and upgrades can be purchased from any authorized Fortinet reseller regardless of where the hardware was originally bought, provided the serial number has an active, eligible FortiCare Premium contract. DataCenter360.ca can process the upgrade with electronic delivery worldwide in 0–1 business days.

Is this contract available outside Canada?
Yes. FortiCare contracts are electronic entitlements available for worldwide purchase and registration. DataCenter360.ca processes orders globally, and the upgrade key delivers electronically in 0–1 business days to any country where the FortiAP-C24JE serial number is registered.
