SmartUpdate is part of SmartConsole installation with R77.30 and below. If you are on R80.x, there is no such thing.

Valeri Loukine: WOW, I did not know it got removed 😉

I'm quite sure I used it last week to attach some licenses. In R80.x it is still in the main menu and the option is called Manage Licenses and Packages

Licenses are now managed directly from SmartConsole. If you are interested in automated in remote and automatic package installation, look up CDT

Yes, or by launching "C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\SmartConsole\R80.10\PROGRAM\SmartDistributor.exe" which is the same "Smart Update" as in R77.x

You should be able to install all needed licenses and contracts over CLI

Install license on local machine:
cplic put -l <license-file>

Contracts Usage:
cplic contract put <contract-file>

can you provide the output of cplic print -x ?

I don't know how or where you get this, but If I want to control centrally managed licenses, I still need to go to top left menu Manage Licenses and Packages, which opens SmartUpdate. Even in R80.20.

Hallo, above shared info is correct,

Now from here, just put the credential of SmartConsole and it will open a page where the License can be added removed.

Once new window opens-> top middle, there is an icon which allows to add the license from file; click on it and navigate the linense file (*.lic)

Thanks.
