Is it possible to set up an open server as a VSX installation? Also if it works theoretically, has anyone ever done this? I could imagine that some sort of issues could come up with such a deployment.</P><P>Yes - it does not really makes sense in a productive way. I am thinking about lab environments in order to get more hands on experience with VSX (+ maybe MDM). Currently I don't have a lab up and running where I could verify this. Searching the web also did not help me to find the answer.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Best regards,</P><P>Maik</P> Fri, 06 Sep 2019 07:21:49 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-on-open-server-deployments/m-p/62026#M9675 Maik 2019-09-06T07:21:49Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-on-open-server-deployments/m-p/62027#M9676 <P>VSX is supported instalation on Open servers, i would say a lot of customers run VSX on open servers and not just CP appliancies.</P> Fri, 06 Sep 2019 07:48:42 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-on-open-server-deployments/m-p/62027#M9676 Martin_Valenta 2019-09-06T07:48:42Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-on-open-server-deployments/m-p/62035#M9677 <P>Haven't seen such a setup so far - but good to know.</P><P>Thanks for your response! <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Fri, 06 Sep 2019 09:01:58 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-on-open-server-deployments/m-p/62035#M9677 Maik 2019-09-06T09:01:58Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-on-open-server-deployments/m-p/62037#M9678 <P>That is very strange, as VSX licenses (e.g. for 10 VS) only comes bundled with CP appliances (from 3100 up to 23800 models). The only available single VSX license is a Domain Blade for VSX license... Which license is used by a lot of customers for VSX on OpenServer ? I would not know one&nbsp;<span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":disappointed_face:">😞</span>...</P> Fri, 06 Sep 2019 10:33:07 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-on-open-server-deployments/m-p/62037#M9678 G_W_Albrecht 2019-09-06T10:33:07Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-on-open-server-deployments/m-p/62040#M9679 <P>Simply when you buy 2+ core license you have option to by VS license to it.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><DIV class="mceNonEditable lia-copypaste-placeholder">&nbsp;</DIV><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="vs.PNG" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/2426iE1CD69800686FFCF/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="vs.PNG" alt="vs.PNG" /></span></P> Fri, 06 Sep 2019 10:32:51 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-on-open-server-deployments/m-p/62040#M9679 Martin_Valenta 2019-09-06T10:32:51Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-on-open-server-deployments/m-p/62100#M9680 Yes you can run VSX on Open Server.<BR />I am personally aware of several customers who either do this or have done it.

Compare to bigger appliances as the licenses can be moved to new hardware.
