I have a quick, dumb, question about IP addresses and licensing.
I've got an older VPN-1 gateway (version NG) running on a Windows host that I am upgrading to new hardware and new software.
The new software will be the VPN UTM package running on SecurePlatform. I've got the SecurePlatform and firewall software installed on the new hardware, using temporary IP addresses for the interfaces (since I will ultimately replace the old gateway and use those IPs).
I have the SmartConsole software installed on a Windows box on the inside network.
I thought I had read that when setting up the license in the CheckPoint web site, that the IP address I should use was the IP address of the management computer, so I used the IP of the Windows system running SmartConsole. I trust I made the wrong choice?
My NG firewall was licensed in 'local' mode, so it's licensed against the external IP address.
What IP address should the NGX be licensed on? Internal? External? What is the difference between 'local' and 'central' mode?
