Title: Too many FireWall Modules (#) in Network Objects: License is only for 1

When I came across this problem, it turned out to be the hostname was resolving to an IP address that was not the same as the license.

Example: Hostname is firewall01. hosts file has 169.111.122.3 for firewall01. License is for 92.14.57.12. Both IP addresses are assigned to the box.

When the firewall module starts, it gets the hostname of the box; Reverse resolves this name an IP address; Checks this IP address against installed licenses and cross checks to make sure the IP address is assigned to an interface, and that the interface is UP (with carrier).

I keep getting the following error when I stop the firewall:

Too many FireWall Modules (#) in Network Objects: License is only for 1

Condition is as follows.

I have an FW and MGMT module on one system and an FW on another. The FW cannot connect to the MGMT module. (Both are 4.1 sp5). Could the above error have something to do with it? or should I look at something else. I've found a sollutions at checkpoint to avoid above senario, but haven't tested is yet (still looking for my 4.0 license). But I have tried everything else with the fw putlic command....

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks.
