Hi, licensing a Gateway is basically based on cores now (Software Blades), e.g. - SG103 > 1 Core, 3 Blades, 50 users - SG203 > 2 Cores, 3 Blades, 500 users - SG805 > 8 Cores, 5 Blades, unlimited users So you don't need any extra license for using CoreXL when you have Software Blades licensed. CoreXL is configured via cpconfig. Afaik, the licensing is currently about the cores used by CoreXL, not the cores that are installed in the machine. As pointed out, some features like QoS are not compatible with CoreXL.
