FC-10-G71GP-204-02-12 is the 1 year FortiCare Premium-to-Elite upgrade for one existing FortiGate 71G-POE. Service code 204 identifies the Elite add-on; it requires a compatible base support entitlement for the same registered device.
This is an electronic support-tier upgrade. It is neither a FortiGate appliance nor a standalone FortiCare Premium contract.
Confirm that the exact FortiGate 71G-POE serial already has qualifying Premium coverage, then align the upgrade dates with that base contract. Record the FortiCare account, current tier, region, administrators and authorized Elite features before activation.
Verify the resulting support level in the entitlement record and review Elite use before annual expiry. Do not purchase this add-on as if it were a standalone support contract.
Fortinet's ordering guide lists the Elite add-on and compares Premium with Elite service features. FortiOS documentation exposes the active Essential, Premium or Elite level in subscription status.
Official sources: FortiCare ordering guide and FortiOS subscription status.
This one-year SKU upgrades qualifying Premium support to Elite. It does not provide the base support contract, firewall hardware, FortiGuard services or unrelated RMA add-ons.
