Generally, yes, but to confirm 100%, please provide the output of cplic print (masking sensitive details).

Hi Mahesh,

I believe you can, but to be 100% sure, I would verify with Account services.

Below are some instructions they sent me couple of year ago for license in the cloud, hope this helps.

********************************************

 

A. Generate the license:

1. Login to your UC user > Click "Assets/Info" / "My Check Point" > Click "Product Center" > Select your account(s) from the "Selected Accounts" menu and click Done.
2. Check the box to the left of the line item(s) that require a license generation.
3. Click "License" button that has the key icon.
4. Choose 'Central' license and input the MGMT IP that manages the vSec gateway(s)
5. Complete the rest of the required fields (marked with an asterisk)
6. Click "Activate" button (if re-licensing a product, option will be "Change")
7. Click "Get License Information" and copy the two commands that begin with 'cplic put ...' aside
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Install the license:

1. Open SSH to the MGMT in expert mode
2. Paste the command which is labeled "For the Security Management Server"
3. Run the command "vsec_lic_cli on"
4. Run the command "vsec_lic_cli"
5. Choose option 1 (Add license)
6. Paste the command labeled "For the Security Gateway:" without the parts "cplic put" and "[module name]".
Example:
1.2.3.4 never dUy6trBX8-jmVyWKQSX-xzdTkVFVT-76nMEXDks cpsg-ve+8 cpsb-base cpsb-fw cpsm-c-2 cpsb-vpn cpsb-adnc cpsb-npm cpsb-logs cpsb-ips cpsb-av cpsb-urlf cpsb-apcl cpsb-aspm cpsb-abot-s cpsb-ctnt CK-ABCDEF1234567
7. The license should be distributed to the GW's - if not manage the distribution through the other commands in "vsec_lic_cli", for more information see:
