Thank you for this information.
It seems my case belong to the first one you describe as I surely don't have
more than 400 unique nodes on my network.
Anyway I had a crash recently and the license error messages where too present
for me not to worry.
Answers from Scott Tobias and Neil Kemp are more likely to solve my problem.
However thank you for answering and giving us this licensing information.

Objet: Re: [FW-1] Checkpoint licence : Count unique internal hosts
I ran into this some years back. At that time FW-1 was computing
internal hosts two completely different ways.
The first was by calculating from the IP settings on your NICs the
number of hosts possible. This was the calculation that set off the
message in the OS Event Log. I checked this by creating a whole new box,
never connected to the LAN, so it could never see any actual hosts, and
sure enough, it placed the warning in the Event Log that there were too
many internal hosts.
The second method involved FW-1 actually keeping track of and counting
the IPs it detected sending packets through its internal NICs. I did not
get into trouble with that calculation, because, like you, I had fewer
internal hosts than my license allowed. It was my understanding at the
time that if FW-1 did detect too many real hosts, it would do something
bad, like stop further connections, or block outgoing packets, or some
such.
If this is still the case, you are being caught by the first
calculation, and have no need to worry.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [FW-1] Checkpoint licence : Count unique internal hosts
Hello,
I'm having some licence problems with my checkpoint NG55 AI.
I have a licence for 500 internal users.
I have no more than ~400 unique nodes in my network. Those nodes are :
- servers
- workstations
- printers
I have a message in the event manager of the Win2k server running
checkpoint saying that my licence only accepts 500 internal users and
that I am over this limit.
How can it be, and how can I troubleshoot this?
Thanks!
Yannick
