Default Re: Necessity of installing Standalone due to license?

Wow only 97% confused, you're doing good :)

With Power license bundles you get a SmartCenter Power and a VPN-1 Power Gateway.

The gateway supports HA (Active/Stand-by). Additional gateway licenses are required for the Stand-by unit(s).

For SmartCenter, you may also purchase an additional SmartCenter license(s) for stand-by SmartCenters.

Now lets say you want 2 (unlimited) gateways in HA and 2 SmartCenter management systems in HA, a very common configuration. You have two options, you may buy

2 CPPWR-CKP-5-U List price $24,000 each

Or you could buy 1 CPPWR-CKP-5-U and
1 CPPWR-VPG-HA-U $10,000
1 CPPWR-SC-5 $15,000 (You can usually get 20% off the SmartCenter if you talk to the Check Point rep, it's just not on the price list)


Note the $10,000 price you have listed is for a CPUTM-SC-5 and not a CPPWR-SC-5. The UTM version does not include management high availablity.

The CPPWR-VPG you have listed is not a bundled license, it is only the gateway.

If you post your requirements, I'll give you some part numbers to start with, but you really need to talk to your reseller about what you need and costs. Take anything I give or anyone else here as just budgetary.
