License Requirements

[ddarby1]

A question for those of you who have experience with Check Point licensing:

The scenario is that I have 4 completely seperate (no HA for example) Enforcement Modules and a SmartCenter Server. The user base is around a total of 3000 and the software NGX.

Do I need just one central VPN-1 Pro Enterprise License or four, one for each gateway?

I think so. You need licence for every module. But if you have CP Enterprise Pro license (VEPRO), it's license for SmartCenter and one Enforcement module. For other modules you need separate licenses.

Thanks for your reply kva.kva. I got the definitive answer from Check Point in the end.

We needed 1 x Enterprise License, which includes Smart Center Management and an unlimited license for 1 Gateway, plus 3 x VPN Gateway unlimited licenses.

We were 'pleased' with this as there is a huge difference in price between 4 x Enterprise Licenses and the above.

I found the link below pretty useful for definitions of the licenses (requires a User Center login)
