SmartUpdate no separate start

[Jim_Fessler]

In R77.30  you can start SmartUpdate when the SmartCenter has no valid license and upload a license from a file on your pc. I find no provision in R80 to start SmartUpdate and the only console option will not start when the license is not valid. The WEBUI has no option to upload a file.

Is there a way to start SmartUpdate separately?

SmartUpdate is installed but there is no shortcut. It can be launched separately from here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\SmartConsole\R80\PROGRAM\SmartDistributor.exe

I do not know if the R80 GA will include a different method of launching it.

Thanks for the information. I looked in that directory but I did not see a name I recognized. I was able to add the license by alias the old IP to the interface via Unix commands and attached the license. I hope there will be a separate start icon for SmartUpdate.
