Local License vs Central License

[trevorc]

Hello all,

If I have a Central license for a Security Gateway, is that license installed on the Security Gateway?

If I have a Loca license for a Security Gateway, is that license installed on the Security Gateway?

Thanks in advance for your response!

In summary central license is applied via SmartConsole and references the Management server IP.

Local license is applied via CLI or GAIA web UI and references the local machines IP address.

Chris, thanks for responding to my query.

I very much appreciate the information that you did provide.  However,
I'm not seeing that your response addresses a keyword in my query:  Installed

Does it make sense for me to use this term, "Installed", in my query?

Thanks Chris

If you're asking if you should install policy to the gateway after license operations it is advisable to do so yes.
