Parameters

Parameter

Description

-o | -overwrite

On a Security Management Server, this erases all existing licenses and replaces them with the new licenses.

On a Check Point Security Gateway, this erases only the local licenses, but not central licenses that are installed remotely.

-c | -check-only

Verifies the license. Checks if the IP of the license matches the machine and if the signature is valid.

-s | -select

Selects only the local license whose IP address matches the IP address of the machine.

-F <Output File>

Outputs the result of the command to the designated file rather than to the screen.

-P | -Pre-boot

Use this option after you have upgraded and before you reboot the machine. Use of this option will prevent certain error messages.

Pushes the current valid licenses to the kernel.

For use by Check Point Support only.

-l <License File>

Name of the file that contains the license.

Hostname or IP address of Security Management Server.
