Fortinet FAC-HW-UG FortiAuthenticator 300F, 800F, 3000E or 3000F, 1000 user upg (FAC-HW-1000UG)

Growing organizations that need to expand FortiAuthenticator capacity in a single step reach for FAC-HW-1000UG. This perpetual upgrade adds 1,000 authenticated users to an existing FortiAuthenticator 300F, 800F, 3000E, or 3000F appliance. The license key is fulfilled electronically and activated directly in the FortiAuthenticator GUI, with the higher user count taking effect immediately.

Overview

FAC-HW-1000UG is a hardware user-count upgrade that increases the authenticated-user capacity of a physical FortiAuthenticator appliance by 1,000 users. It is not a new appliance, a subscription, or a software bundle — it is a perpetual entitlement that, once applied, raises the appliance’s licensed ceiling permanently with no expiry and no annual renewal fee.

FortiAuthenticator supports MFA, SSO, RADIUS/LDAP authentication, and certificate management. All of those capabilities extend automatically to cover the additional 1,000 users once the upgrade is applied. Compatible appliances are the FortiAuthenticator 300F, 800F, 3000E, and 3000F.

Verify the appliance’s current licensed user count and maximum supported ceiling in the FortiAuthenticator GUI under System > Administration > License before ordering.

Who it suits

FAC-HW-1000UG fits organizations going through substantial user-base growth: a merger integrating a large workforce, a corporate MFA rollout to a previously excluded business unit, or an IT team consolidating authentication infrastructure and migrating a large user cohort onto the existing appliance in one move.

Procurement teams that have historically purchased 100-user upgrades find the 1,000-user increment more efficient — it reduces the number of separate license keys to track and simplifies audit trails for compliance. Organizations with predictable multi-year growth plans often purchase one or two FAC-HW-1000UG keys per refresh cycle to stay ahead of capacity constraints.
