RE: [FW1] Problem with licenses

[DGianna@FW1-NOSPAMWestcon.com]

The file is named "fwd.h" and is located in the $FWDIR/conf/database directory.
If you stop the firewall service, delete or rename the file, then restart the
firewall, it will create the new fwd.h file.

If this doesn't fix the problem (probably not), then check the "external.if"
file in the $FWDIR/conf/bin directory.
This should have the NAME of the external interface of your firewall. [Look at
IPCONFIG/ALL and you will see the name of the interface]
Basically, this tells the firewall which interface to ignore when counting IP
addresses. [Sorry, you can have only entry with a single-gateway device -- no
cheating allowed!]

Finally, if you have (for example) a 25-user license, and you have 26 or more
nodes, this is the error you will get. You've exceeded your license.
You need to upgrade to the next level, a 50-node license. The breaks are 25, 50,
100, 250 and Unlimited users.

Philippe,

This message is simply stating that it has detected more IP addresses on
your internal network then it is licensed for.

It doesn't really matter how many it's detected, fact of the matter is that
there are more then the license can handle. I am not sure (don't remember),
but I do think theres a file somewhere which holds a list of all IP's
detected in the Internal net. Maybe somone else can help with that.

The way it works is :

You get a license for say 25.

This means, the firewall will accept 25 IP addresses.

If you have 26 IP addresses on your internal net, even if only 25 are
actually accessing the FW in some way, the FW KNOWS about the additional IP
and tells you.

Mike
