License Activation - Gaia Portal

A license can be activated online or offline. Appliances with Internet connectivity and access to the Check Point User Center automatically fetch the license.

• A license check takes place immediately on a newly installed Security Management Server and continues until a license is attached.
• On a Security Gateway, a license check takes place before establishing SIC with the management server. If the Security Gateway has Internet connectivity, a license is fetched. If no connectivity exists, automatic activation attempts continue after SIC is established until the Security Gateway is activated.
