Well Hugo, that's technically correct. You can in fact pay for a single SmartDefense subscription and get it updated and used for all your devices, it works perfect that way, but in terms of Check Point licensing, that's not how it is supposed to be.
The way it works is you should pay for a subscription for each device on which you wish to take advantage of SmartDefense protections and updates. Also the subscriptions' cost will depend on the "size" of your gateway, that way a subscription for an unlimited Power gateway will be more expensive than a subscription for a limited UTM license for 25, 50, 100, etc. users. The deal is Check Point haven't found a way (or haven't develop one) to enforce this. I guess it actually depends on the Check Point Partner that sells you the products, one might give you a quote including an SD subscription for each gateway you have, another might quote just one, no matter how many gateways you have, because they know it will work.
