Step 5: Licensing and Registration on Scalable Chassis

Scalable Chassis have an initial 15-day evaluation license. After the evaluation license expires, you must license and register the system.

Each chassis is licensed separately.

If you have Dual Chassis system, you must install two licenses.

The license key (CK) is the chassis serial number.

The chassis serial number is printed on the chassis sticker.

You can also retrieve the chassis serial number from the CMM.

To retrieve the serial number:

Step

Instructions

1

Connect to one of the SGMs on the chassis over SSH or console.

2

Log in to the Expert mode.

3

Run:

asg_serial_info

Refer to the field Standby Chassis serial.

To register a Chassis:

Step

Instructions

1

Log in to the Check Point User Center.

2

In the applicable account, search for the chassis serial number.

3

Generate a license based on the IP address of the SSM interface connected to your Management Server.

Note - Because a Chassis has one Management IP address, in Dual Chassis environments, the Active Chassis and Standby Chassis should be bound to the same IP address in the license. Generate two licenses and enter the same IP address in each license.

4

Install the license on the Chassis.

  • If you use the "cplic put" command, you must run it from the Gaia gClish, so that it applies to all SGMs.

  • Run the "cplic put" command twice, if you have a Dual Chassis environment.
