[FW1] question on upgrading checkpoint 4.0 to 4.1 (solaris)

["Sim, CT (Chee Tong)" <CheeTong.Sim@FW1-NOSPAMsin.rabobank.com>]

Dear all.

We would like to upgrading our existing Check Point from 4.0 to 4.1 on
solaris box, I need to ask some questions to double check.  Quite a lot
questions, just answer whatever u can

1)What file or directory that we need to backup in our existing solaris, is
that the whole $FWDIR or /opt/CKPfw and /var/opt/CKPfw directory??  or what
else??   

2)After the upgrading, do we need to install the policy again, or we need to
copy the old configuration to new directory again?   

3)I read the documentation that if the cpconfig detect a previous version
was installed, the configuration program will be shown like as below.  May I
know whether we need to configure the individual item again like
Administrator and etc.. or it will maintain the old setting?? I remember the
version 4.0 got 10 options, but 4.1 seems to have 15 options, for those
extra, do we need to configure or just leave it if nothing change.

Configuration option


(1)Licenses
(2)Administrator   
(3)XXXXXXX  etc

4)Do we need to supply the new License key for upgrading? If yes, whether
only Certificate Key is needed to generate the license key on the net?? What
else we need to supply? Whether the licenses key generated today can be used
tomorrow?  


5)I have the following licenses key configuration, what is the meaning? Is
that because we changed internet interface hme0's IP before from 213.40 XXX
to 213.90 XXX before but it was install two times??
