I remember hearing that back in the day the License was tied to a specific IP on the enforcement point. But I don't think there was a time where you COULDN'T transfer a license. I heard migrating the license used to be a PITA.
With NG R55 and on, all the licenses reside on the Smartcenter Server and are not tied to anything hardware specific. The only thing the licenses are tied to is the IP address of the Smartcenter Server. Even that is easily re-generated in case you change the Smartcenter server. Either way, I've been able to swap licenses between SPLAT and Nokia's/ Nokia to another Nokia without any difficulty.

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!
