Joseph, Assuming we are talking about a plain/typical distributed configuration of CheckPoint firewalls, we would have two types of licenses to concern ourselves with: the EC (Enterprise Console) and the FM/VFM (Firewall Module/VPN Firewall Module) licenses. You would need to have a FM/VFM for each of your firewalls and an EC for the management console (one EC license per management console). If you are using the X/MOTIF gui, then you would also need the MOTIF license on your management console. However, if you are using a Provider-1/SiteManager-1 product, you will need to get MDS and CMA licenses instead of the EC licenses for management console. Well, as you could see here, the discussion of CheckPoint licensing is actually fairly complicated (it varies depending on what specific feature you are getting and the type of setup). Your best bet would be your friendly local CheckPoint reseller who sold you the product. Or, you could give us the "Features" listed on your firewall licenses and we could help you decipher the language of CheckPoint licensing for you.

I purchased the Nokia IP330 FW-1 with Checkpoint s/w support and the ABC-user license. Do I need a separate license in order to manage the policies? I plan to deploy the firewall in a remote location and want to manage the rules from my central location. We have the firewall setup and interfaces configured, but my staff states that a license is missing for policy management. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://list.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
