CheckPoint (from my understanding) licenses the product by the number of
hosts that you are PROTECTING. So, If you only have 3 hosts that you are
protecting behind your firewall, then a 25 user license is just fine.

Subject: [FW1] What do I need buy?




        I want to install the next system with CheckPoint-FW1 GateWay.


                Internet
                   |
                   |
                   |
                  FW1
                   |
                   |
                   |
        --------------
         |      |       |
         |      |       |
      serv.  Serv.   Serv.
         web     mail   DNS,FTP

        Everybody connected to internet could access to the Servers, but they only
could have access to the ports indicated in the fw1-rules for each server.

        Someone could access to others ports to manage the Servers,for this are
necessary rules in the firewall too.

        I would like to know what license I need to buy.

                1) A license for 25 nodes.
                2) A license for unlimit nodes.

        The FireWall-1 counts the IP's from Internet which enter my system or only
counts the three IP's of my servers.

        Example.

        If the adress 212.121.14.56 makes a request to the web server (server IP -
194.34.12.98) and the web server answers the question,

                       How many address counts the FireWall-1?

                                1- Two -> 212.121.14.56 and 194.34.12.98
                                2- One -> 194.34.12.98

        If the FireWall counts one host I will need a licese for 25 nodos, but if
the FireWall counts two hosts I will need a license for unlimit nodes.

        This is my question,
        Which license I need to buy?

        Thank You

        PD. My question Is very important because I need to buy the FireWall very
soon.


        Greetings
