that's basically what they told me. And because the gateway version that was bought earlier is no longer available from Checkpoint, I will have to update the current license/gateway to the new version. And for that they want to charge. It makes sense technically but I don't see why I would need to pay money for the upgrade. They say the new gateway version would come with FloodGate and stuff like that included and that the version we bought did not have that so the upgrade fee is right. |> the data they share is a rather "raw" binary format and |> small differences |> between internal data formats could seriously break things.

The VEE license includes the enforcement module, a VPN-1. Now if we want to license a VPN-1 enforcement module today, they claim it has a different feature set and doesn't match the "old" VPN-1 module. So we would run into problems. If this is true, I can't help but feel like being fooled. Thanks for your input!
