Smartcenter licence upgrade to NGX

[dannyboy]

The situation is I am upgrading from NG R55 to NGX R61. Currently R55 Smartcenter is on a W2k box and I am migrating to new hardware which will run SPLAT for the smartcenter. The new box is off the network and will have the same ip and name. What I want to know is if I upgrade the licence will the r55 smartcenter carry on working once the licence is applied to the new box ? If not how can I do it ? I only have the one smartcenter licence. I want to replicate our live system in a test environment first and this is the first step.

if old license is up and running on old box
you re-generate that license on usercenter and you apply your NEW license to your NEW box ONLY, then it will work.

There is no active "check the license" thingys between your boxes and checkpoint that would invalidate your license.


hope i understood ur question correctly.
