Getting and Applying Contracts

If the license includes "-SUBSCR", you must download the contract file and apply it to the server.

If the Endpoint Security Management Server has Internet access, it automatically renews contracts.

By default, the Endpoint Security Management Server looks for new contracts every two hours.

If the Endpoint Security Management Server does not have access to the Internet, prepare the contract file download from the User Center differently.

To change the default time interval:

  1. Connect to the command line on the Endpoint Security Management Server.
  2. Log in to the Expert mode.
  3. Edit the dl_prof_CNTRCTMNGR.xml file. 
    vi $CPDIR/conf/downloads/dl_prof_CNTRCTMNGR.xml
  4. Change the "<interval>" value as necessary.
  5. Save the changes in the file and exit the editor.
  6. Restart Check Point services. 
    cpstop ; cpstart

To apply a contract manually

  1. Log in to Check Point User Center.
  2. Click Products.
  3. Select Get Contracts File in the drop-down menu at the right of the row.
  4. In the window that opens, save the contract file and click Open.
  5. In SmartConsole, open SmartUpdate.

    (Start menu > Check Point > SmartUpdate)

  6. Select License & Contracts > Updated Contracts > From File.
  7. In the window that opens, browse to where you saved the contract file and click Open.

    The contract is applied to the Endpoint Security Management Server.

To download a contract to a different computer

  1. Log in to Check Point User Center.
  2. Click Products > Additional Services.
  3. Select the account of the contract.
  4. Click Email File or Download Now.
  5. When you have the contract file, move it to the Endpoint Security Management Server.

To configure a proxy for Internet access

If the Endpoint Security Management Server requires a proxy to connect to the internet, configure the proxy details in SmartConsole.

  1. In SmartConsole, open the Endpoint Security Management Server object.
  2. Select Network Management > Proxy.
  3. Select Use custom proxy settings for this network object.
  4. Select Use proxy server and enter the URL and port.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click the Menu > Install Database > select the Endpoint Security Management Server object > click Install.
