1 Y Eval on 1570R showing as invalid

[G_W_Albrecht]

For a demo 1570R that has run out of bundled services, i was in the need to install an eval license, As the POC could take 2-3 month (and could be followed by some time in my Lab environment) i had decided to use a 1 Y Eval, But i was unable to get it working - license invalid was shown:

<-ASPM CPSB-APCL CPSB-ABOT CPSB-CTNT CK-9B70EF9A2D03
CheckDataSign_imp: signature size is incorrect
cplic_addlic_imp: error adding LICENSE 10.0.0.1 18Jul2025 CPSG-C-8-U CPSB-FW CP SB-VPN CPSB-IPSA CPSB-DLP CPSB-SSLVPN-U CPSB-IA CPSB-ADNC CPSG-VSX-25S CPSB-SWB CPSB-IPS CPSB-AV CPSB-URLF CPSB-ASPM CPSB-APCL CPSB-ABOT CPSB-CTNT CK-9B70EF9A2D 03

Failed to install license: License Invalid

Next try, new details:

Failed to install license: Ok

Could it be true that a 1570R will not work with an eval ? @Amir_Ayalon ? Account services only gave the final recommendation to ask TAC...

I think SMB are using a different license signature format. It seems you are installing a regular Gaia license. I would open a TAC request to double-check

It was possible on 7x0/14x0/15x0 SMBs to install the AllInOne license, see my old post https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/SMB-Gateways-Spark/1400-1100-1200R-700-600-Appliance-Demo-Units/...

I suspect that this special HW needs a special license...

Why IP address and not MAC address?

I would call Account services myself. Every time I did for any license issue, it got solved pretty quickly.

Should be supported as stated in: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk178604

But different sk shows:

Small-Medium Business Appliances (SMB)

For Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMB), the designated evaluation license option is "Threat Prevention Evaluation."

When you select this option, you are prompted to select the User Center account associated with the SMB device. In addition, the user that creates the evaluation license must be linked to the specified User Center account. Enter the MAC address of the SMB device during this process.

When finished, the evaluation blades are integrated into the specified SMB device. Subsequently, the license for the SMB device must be generated and applied.
