Actually, when I was preparing to do something similar, I went to Checkpoints site, expecting the new licensing to take a couple of weeks to be processed and all, but found, in my inbox, no more than 5 minutes after I filled out the form, my shiny new license string. I was shocked and amazed!
The only agreement to getting a new license is to remove the old one when it is no longer used. I would therefore imagine, that you very well may be able to have the old key installed, along side of the new one, and then remove the new one once you are done with it's IP addressing. Since your intention is to go back to the original IP, I don't think you'd be violating any agreements in good faith.
Hope that's helpful

Subject: [FW1] Moving IP address
Hi all,
I am moving to a new office, and it will take 5 weeks to my ISP to give me
my old IP.
So, now I have IP 1
Next week I will have to change to IP 2
and in 6 weeks from now, I will be changing back to IP 1
Do you have any experience with the time it takes for CP to move the license
from one IP to another?
Do you know if you can change back and forth?
Do you know about any other option, like a machine between the firewall and
the router enrouting packages to avoid changin ips? Any problems with this
solution and VPN?
Thanks in advance.
