Attaching a License to a Security Gateway

You can select one or more licenses to attach to a gateway. When you attach a license, it is attached to the remote managed gateway.

New licenses have to be attached when:

• An existing license expires.
• An existing license is upgraded to a newer license.
• A Local license is replaced with a Central license.
• The IP address of the Security Management Server or Check Point Security Gateway changes.

To attach a license:

1. Add the license to the License & Contract Repository.
2. Get the gateway data from the managed gateway.
3. Attach the license to the gateway:
   1. From SmartUpdate, select Licenses & Contract.
   2. Right-click and select Attach.
   3. Select the licenses to attach.

Retrieving License Data from a Check Point Security Gateway

Go to License Properties on the remote gateways to retrieve license data.

From SmartUpdate, double-click a gateway and the License Properties window opens.

To retrieve license data from a single remote gateway, right-click on the gateway and select Get Licenses.
