One scenario (VPN-1 Product Manager):
"Hmmm, if 1,000 companies have asked for a 5,000 user
SecuRemote license (even free), that must mean we have 5,000,000 VPN clients
out there....
Marketing, do I have a story to tell you!"
I'm also not a fan of the licensing method. However, a decent
VAR should be able to turn around a license in <24 hours. It's now SOP for
any new purchase we make.

Why the @#$(%28$#%@#$*&% do they do this? I HATE
HATE HATE HATE HATE the
CheckPoint licensing scheme,
architecture, etc., etc. I have never ever
had
an interaction with CheckPoint having to do with licensing that didn't
take weeks to resolve. If the component is free, why
doesn't it just work
when I have a vpnstrong license
that allows it to be free? Why make me
jump
through more hoops just to get something that the software should
ALREADY know I am licensed for? THis is the most
brain-dead setup I've
ever heard of?
And on that note, why do WE put up with all of this
crap? I have heard
sooooo many people
complaining about CheckPoint licensing fiascos. I
certainly would never ever purchase a CheckPoint product again after
the
hideous experiences I've had with licensing.
Nothing is worth this
nightmare.
(I'm currently stuck between a 4.0 installation that has an
expired
license, and a 4.1 installation with a
permanent license, but no
SEcuRemote license yet....
and I've got remote users just hanging in the
wind. Not to mention that they've screwed up my software
subscription,
and I've suddenly lost access to all of
the download areas.)
