 Licensing NG and NGX
Hello All,
Trying to understand checkpoint licensing a bit better having been confused reading the posts here and talks with my checkpoint licensor. I have searched all the posts in the licensing section but can't find the exact answers i'm after. Take the licenses below for example:
1)
VPN-1 Module for an unlimited number of IP addresses
CPVP-VFM-U-NG
2)
VPN-1 Power Gateway for Unlimited Users
CPPWR-VPG-U
3)
VPN-1, FireWall-1 and FloodGate-1 Gateway for 50 users
cpmp-vpg-50-ngx
1) is a NG license and the key word unlimited would imply you won't have any issues with being short on enforcement licensing. However, how does checkpoint enforce the "number of IP addresses" limit? Do you get a warning or certain functionality is disabled? Can you tell how much you've consumed on an enforcement module?
2) and 3) I've read that NGX has moved from licensing per ip address to per user? What's the difference and again how is this enforced and is there a way of checking how close you are to the limit?
I've been comfortable till now with management and module licensing as i've always been given unlimited licenses for both and i've just been careful with the features enabled on the license (i.e VPN, FloodFate-1 etc). It’s time to bang my head against the wall now :-)
