I disagree. I'm coming from the standpoint of larger firewalls, so if the snippet you cut out below mentioned elsewhere some kind of built-in firmware firewall appliance for SOHO use or something, that may be a special case I'm not familiar with. If you use central licensing, you can revoke, then push to a different enforcement point. I'm not sure what the issue would be anyway, (unless you weren't paying support) since you could relicense your product if you do something like change the IP on the box for central licensing, which requires you to get a new license key as well. It's easy to request a new license key on usercenter these days for current products you have on support, and I think you have a 5 time relicense on the web site before you have to open a support ticket and request more (and probably explain why you relicensed your stuff that many times for a production environment so they know you're not bootlegging the license on too many boxes ;-)

Non-portable license for FW-1. I haven't verified this recently, but in past the FW-1 license was tied to the particular Nokia appliance, so an upgrade to a newer Nokia appliance required purchasing a new FW-1 license. You don't have this problem on generic Intel platforms. <<< _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
