Default License Features and initial policy
Hi,

We are in the process of replacing a license on a CheckPoint NGX Firewall and Smart Centre which is installed in a standalone environment. The Product Key for the new license is

CPVP-VCT-U-NG.

The currect license that we have on the firewall has the following features

CPMP-VFF-U-NGX CPVP-VSR-1000-NGX CK
CPVP-VEE-U-3DES-MGMT-NGX CPMP-PRO-U-NGX

Based on the above information, I have the following queries

1- Whats the difference between the features on the licenses ? Is there any information available on how to interpret these license features ?

2- Whats the impact of this license change as I guess the initial policy overwrites the installed Security policy during a license expiration which means a disruption to the service which obvioulsy we want to avoid..Is it possible to apply a new license first and then remove the old one ?


Thanks
Usman
