Document the Premium-to-Elite support transition

An upgrade line changes the support tier for an existing eligible contract. Procurement must identify the current Premium entitlement, target Elite coverage, effective date and remaining term rather than treating it as a standalone new contract.

  • Confirm the registered serial and current Premium contract.
  • Record the target Elite tier and effective coverage dates.
  • Verify co-term, credit and lapse treatment on the quotation.
  • Confirm entitled contacts and escalation access after transition.

Activation and acceptance evidence

Verify that the portal shows the intended Elite tier against the same serial with the agreed dates and authorized support contacts.

Commercial boundary

The upgrade does not supply hardware, automatically add every RMA option or replace a missing base contract.

Official manufacturer references

Use the current authorized quotation and service description as the controlling commercial record. This independent comparison does not expand manufacturer scope or geographic availability.
