R80 evaluation licensing

Hello colleagues,

Recently installed R80 as Management Server on ESXi and I have trouble to install CPSGEVAL license on paired Security Gateways with 77.20 on board. Although IP address of management and SG itself is correct, it is still says that license is expired in SmartUpdate. But it has 30 days and valid until 09th of December as you can see on attached screenshots:

Can you tell me which step I might be missing?

Thanks!

A license displayed in red text by SmartUpdate does not necessarily mean it is already expired; the coloring can also indicate a license that is going to expire soon but is still valid.  A license that is going to expire in 30 days or less by default will be shown in red by SmartUpdate, so 30-day evals will always look that way.
