In response to the_rock

I suspect the reason for the "Expires in 2038 license" has something to do with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem
By default, in older versions (R77.x and earlier), we would set the expiration of the Internal CA to current date plus 20 years.
That caused issues that we've since fixed by setting the expiration date of the ICA to a fixed value: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/SMB-Gateways-Spark/How-reset-to-factory-default-from-maintenance... 
There are likely other bugs that will occur when the actual date gets to 2038 that will cause the unit to fail...that obviously won't get fixed because the units will be EOL.

Therefore, I expect the answer from TAC will be that this is expected behavior.
