Default Re: I have a central licensed linked to my internal IP - Does it matter???

Back in the day, most people ran central configs (FW Module and Management Module aka, Gateway and SmartCenter, on one box) and for that matter there was no such thing as central licenses. Check Point wanted the license tied to the external/routable IP address so you couldn't cheat the license. Up to 4.0 IIRC the license was tied to the system's hostid and not the IP address. It was a royal PIA when you had to replace hardware.
