Chkpnt NG with AI supports 2 licensing schemes - local and central. If you have multiple Enf modules(EM) and a single SmartCenter server(SCS) to manage all of them - go for central licensing. Central licensing is useful in such cases because even if the EM IP address changes you dont need to regenerate ur license, the only time you need to regenerate your license would be in case if you change the SCS IP(which is rarely the case). Go for Local licensing when you have the SCS and EM on the same machine - standalone configuration. In this case, if you change the IP of your EM, you need to regenerate ur License. Tedious ha ?
SCS always requires a LOCAL license in any case.
This may come as a BOOMER to you - if you have already procured the product with local licensing - and already generated it from usercentre.checkpoint.com - nothing can be done about it now.
If you have not yet purchased the product
- I would suggest you go for centrallicensing as its better in your case.
