Re: [FW1] FW-1 Upgrade Follow-up Question

Robert:

It means that you have a FireWall-1 Internet Gateway, 100-node license. It does
not include a license for any encryption. You may, however, upgrade this to the
equivalent VPN-1 Internet Gateway product, or add a (second) license for the
add-on encryption module. In either case, you would also have to upgrade to
version 4.1 (2000), as a reseller will not be able to sell you a 4.0 license.
If you had purchased Software Subscription, and it was in place at the time of
4.1 release, you probably were already "upgraded" to a 4.1 license, but only in
CheckPoint's database, not physically. If so, the upgrade will cost you nothing.
It sounds like this is the case, since the Cert Key gave you a license with a
CK-x x xxxx -- that is a 4.1 license! (Congratulations!)
You need to get the 4.1/2000 media from your reseller, and upgrade to 4.1. You
already have the 4.1 license. Now all you need is an encryption license ...

I am currently running FW-1/VPN-1 4.0 SP1 on an NT box. When I do "fw.exe
ver" it says CheckPoint VPN-1 & Firewall-1 version 4.0 Build 431
VPN+DES+Strong)

When I do a "fw.exe printlic" it says

Type      Expiraton Ver  Features
x.x.x.x   Never          4.0  std med 100

I'm guessing here but does "std" mean DES and not 3DES, not sure what "med"
means and I imagine 100 is the number of users.

I generated a license key on the CheckPoint website features are
cpfw-fig-100-v41 then CK-(a bunch of alphanumeric characters I'm not sure if
I should post here)

I guess I'm not sure if we are actually licensed for 3DES. I assumed (silly
me) that we were when I did FW.EXE Ver, but I'm not so sure considering the
output of the printlic. Then again my software subscription is enabled to
download US Authorized VPN+Strong, VPN+DES, VPN, and Non-VPN Encryption
access. Why would I be given access to VPN+Strong downloads if I'm not
licensed for the feature.

Can anyone more knowledgeable than I please clarify this.

Thanks.

Robert
