Default Local licenses vs Central licenses

We have got a globally distributed checkpoint environment. We are currently using local licensing. I was wondering if it is worth replacing local licenses with central licenses or not ?

I know that central licensing has following benefits :

A.The new license remains valid when changing the IP address of the Check Point Gateway.There is no need to create and install a new license.
B.Only one IP address is needed for all licenses.
C. A license can be taken from one Check Point Gateway and given to another.

Are these benefits good enough to make me switch from local to central licensing ? Does anyone know of any other benefits which i might get by replacing local licenses with the central licenses ?

Thanks for your precious comments or suggestions.

Regards
KJ

Yes it's worth it (assuming you have support). It just saves headaches for you latter
