Add

You can add any license that you receive from the User Center to the Licenses & Contracts Repository.

• You can add the licenses directly from a User Center account.
• You can add the licenses from a file that you receive from the User Center.
• You can add the licenses manually by pasting or typing the license details.

When you add the Local license to the Licenses & Contracts Repository, it also attaches it to the Security Gateway with the IP address, for which the license was issued.

Attach

You can attach a license from the Licenses & Contracts Repository to a managed Security Gateway.

Detach

When you detach a license from a managed Security Gateway, you have to uninstall the license from that Security Gateway.

If this is a Central license, this operation makes that license in the Licenses & Contracts Repository available to other managed Security Gateways.

Get

You can add information from your managed Security Gateways about the licenses you installed locally.

This updates the Licenses & Contracts Repository with all local licenses across the installation.

The Get operation is a two-way process that places all locally installed licenses in the License & Contract Repository and removes all locally deleted licenses from the Licenses & Contracts Repository.

Delete

You can delete a license from the Licenses & Contracts Repository.

Export

You can export a license from the Licenses & Contracts Repository to a file.

License Expiration

Licenses expire on a particular date, or never.

If a license expires, the applicable products and features stop working on the Check Point computer, to which the license is attached.

State

The license state depends on whether the license is associated with a managed Security Gateway in the Licenses & Contracts Repository, and whether the license is installed on that Security Gateway.

The license state definitions are as follows:

• Attached - Indicates that the license is associated with a managed Security Gateway in the Licenses & Contracts Repository, and is installed on that Security Gateway.
• Unattached - Indicates that the license is not associated with managed Security Gateways in the Licenses & Contracts Repository, and is not installed on managed Security Gateways.
• Assigned Indicates that the license that is associated with a managed Security Gateway in the Licenses & Contracts Repository, but has not yet been installed on a Security Gateway.

Local License
