Parameter

Description

{-h | -help}

Shows the applicable built-in usage.

-d

Runs the command in debug mode.

Use only if you troubleshoot the command itself.

Best Practice - If you use this parameter, then redirect the output to a file, or use the script command to save the entire CLI session.

{-o | -overwrite}

On a Security Gateway / Cluster Member, this command erases only the local licenses, but not central licenses that are installed remotely.

{-c | -check-only}

{-s | -select}

Selects only the local license whose IP address matches the IP address of the Check Point computer.

-F <Output File>

Saves the command output to the specified file.

{-P | -Pre-boot}

Use this option after you have upgraded and before you reboot the Check Point computer.

Use of this option will prevent certain error messages.

{-K | -kernel-only}

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.
