So is it my understanding that people are buying SecurClient licenses in
order to have the Office Mode functionality only? Is the policy server yet
another license if you wanted to use more of the SecurClient features?
We are starting to run into issues more and more now subnet address
conflicts and the response from an online chat with Checkpoint was
"SecurClient with Office Mode will work without a license but not legally".
Well, that's not something I would want to do then and also have the
possibility of installing it on a bunch of machines and have it break
unexpectedly with an upgrade.

Licensing speaking, Office Mode **is** a Secure Client feature. The only
reason you can use it without a Secure Client license is because
technically
the firewall software is currently not enforcing this, which does not mean
eventually a newer release could do so.
That situation happened with SmartView Reporter (recently renamed Eventia
Reporter), it has always been licensed per site, but in the past having a
single of those licenses was enough to generate reports for several sites
or
gateways. Starting on R60, there was a change and now the application
checks
and warns you, if you have more gateways than licenses available, you are
forced to choose for which gateways you would be generating reports,
leaving
the unlicensed ones out of the process.
That caused a headache to one of our customers, who used to work with
another Check Point reseller, which did not explain the situation from the
very beginning.
