RE: [FW1] Moving IP address

It depends. If you license too many times they handle it manually. Otherwise you get an immediate reply. I've seen both, usually within 24 hours, but that varies.

When you said immediately, do you mean online?  I
thought if you are relicensing with another ip, it
takes about 48 to 72 hours and CheckPoint email you
with the new license key.  My experience is about 48
hours.
