Cannot activate license

Jo1zzz — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 09:06:59 GMT

Hi, i am trying to setup checkpoint firewall in lab in eve-ng and i am able to do the installation successfully it seems but i have issues activating the license. I took the "ALL-IN-ONE EVALUATION" and when i try to activate it via CLI, i get invalid license. I try pasting the license string also via the GUI but did not work.

The below is how i tried activating the license earlier and i tried another method but did not work.

cplic put -l "LICENSE 10.197.20.202 23Dec2023 CPSB-WS CPVP-SNX-U-NGX CPSB-SWB CPSB-ADNC-M CK-52BFB332E52D" -s "RbMuvwBj-kbKTh8UQz-FBMn3DmRH-fkNWCNGXn"

cplic put -l "LICENSE 10.197.20.202 23Dec2023 CPSG-C-8-U CPSG-C-8-U CPSB-FW CPSB-VPN CPSB-DLP CPSB-SSLVPN-U CPSB-IA CPSB-ADNC CPSB-IPS CPSB-AV CPSB-URLF CPSB-ASPM CPSB-APCL CPSB-ABOT CK-52BFB332E52D" -s "j7HkhH5i-ChdZn8ijy-K3oPcTPWG-X93Q9Pbix"

So i would like to know which license do i need to download? How do i get the API to run? I get the error "API readiness test FAILED. The server is down and unable to receive connections!
"

I am using: Check_Point_R81.20_T6316GB RAM for the firewall

Did you generate the license as central or local?

The portion you have their seems to only reference gateway (CPSG) and not management (CPSM)?

I sent you direct message, just copy/paste whats there to expert mode of your standalone and it will work 100%. if any issues, let me know.

Best regards,

Does the IP in the license is the same as your SMS management IP?
