Licensing Issues

[Yasushi Kono]

Hi eXperts,

one of our customer said that he could not install a policy because of "no valid license". I am not aware of CP licensing. The customer installed the following licenses onto the management Server:

CPVP-VEE-U-3DES-mgmt-NGX CPMP-CXL-HA-U-NGX

CPMP-VFF-U-NGX CPVP-VSR-1000-NGX CPVP-VPS-1-NGX

And installed this one on the Security Gateway:

CPMP-PPK-1-NGX (this is the license for the performance pack)

I suppose that the license below should be installed on a Security Gateway, instead of installing it on the Management Server (SmartCenter Server):

CPMP-VFF-U-NGX CPVP-VSR-1000-NGX CPVP-VPS-1-NGX

What do you thing about that? The Security Gateway seems only to have a Performance Pack only. This is definitely not enough.

Another question coming into my mind:

In the license string: CPMP-VFF-U-NGX CPVP-VSR-1000-NGX CPVP-VPS-1-NGX
you see a license for 1000 SecuRemote, and the string VPS stands for Policy Server. So, is it sufficient to install a policy server license with SecuRemote instead of SecureClient? I do not know, if there is particularly a SecureClient license in existence or not.

Thank you in advance,
Yasushi

What the Enduser want to do is to generate the licenses as "central" and install them on the SmartCenter. Then with SmartUpdate he can apply the gateway license (VFF) to the firewall. Also he will want to apply to the firewall the PPK.

The VPS and VSR licenses are not part of the VFF. You get a 1000 SecuRemote users with a VFF-U. If you want to use SecureClient (which you most likley do) that is a seperate license (VSC for Windows, VSM for Mac)
