Remember to make sure the "wintel" machine has the same hostname as the
original Nokia box, and if possible, same IP used to register the licenses.
If you follow Sin's advice of reimaging the Nokia box, this details should
be no prob (hopefully).

The first (hostname) would be to avoid corruption in the ICA, if the
hostname is not the same, be sure you will have to go with the ICA reset and
that could be a potential headache (been there).

An IP change is easier to handle, but take in count that if you load an
upgrade_export output (which already comes with the licenses) on a machine
that does not have the IP used when registering the lics, you might get into
trouble with services not coming up during a reboot. If you MUST change the
IP of the management server, be sure to go to the User Center, change the IP
of the licenses, generate new license files and load them properly via
"Check Point configuration" (in Windows) or cpconfig (which will open the
same Window), via CLI.

that's the way to do it.

just be sure to uncheck 'Firewall' and 'VPN' checkboxes on the newly
imported smartcenter configuration (as the news windows box will not be
an enforcement point)

my advice would be to reimage the nokia box with IPSO and then install
Check Point on it. it takes less time this way than troubleshooting cp
reconfiguration.
