facing issue with the installation of R8040 in Eve-ng

Vineethkumar — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 07:01:43 GMT

Hello all, I tried installing r80.40 in my eve-ng lab for the first time, it didn't work and faced issue during the initial setup after uploading the image to eve-ng. As I could see R80.40 has reached end of support, I thought I can go ahead with next version to make it work but in the Checkpoint page it is showing that I'm not entitled to download the image. I need someone's valuable guidance here.

Hey @Vineethkumar

I feel Im sort of "eve-ng expert" at this point, since I use it all the time lol

Anyway, please follow below and make sure that naming is CORRECT, otherwise, it will not work. Folders can be called whatever, but beginning of the image name has to match with whats listed in the link for any given vendor.

Note that many downloads require having a software subscription (included with a support agreement with Check Point or a Certified Partner).
Current versions (R81.20, R82) should be downloadable by everyone.
