Managing Licenses without the Portal

You can add SMP licenses without the SMP portal. For example, for deployments with multiple SMP Servers, you cannot use the portal the Primary SMP Server to add licenses to the Secondary servers. These are the options to manually add a license:

• Run the cplic putlic CLI command

• Use the Check Point Configuration Tool

The license that you receive from the Check Point User Center contains the correct settings for all the cplic putlic parameters. Do not change these settings when you add a license.

Run cplic del to delete a license from the SMP. It is necessary to enter the license hash signature when you run this command.
