Im pretty sure that technically, the interface in which you bound the
License to doesn't matter.  In fact with CKP's new cluster configuration w/
Stonebeat the CKP recommend approach is to bound the license to a
Administrative Interface.

In my experience the only time that not using the external interface might
be a issue is if you do not have a unlimited license.

More of a support thing. CHeckPoint like to license on the external side
for
license tracking. I have heard of encryption issues with internal
licensing.

I'm sure this is something that will happen soon. Checkpoint wants to
better
control their software, something I can understand. If you are using Single
Gateway limited, you have to set the external interface.

I can imagine a day when you must be connected to the internet, so when
your
the screen comes up for licensing, it must connect to a remote server to
complete the install, for license validation. This will only enrage current
admins even more.
