Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81.20 — Question 112

The Online Activation method is available for Check Point manufactured appliances. How does the administrator use the Online Activation method?

Answer options

• A. The cpinfo command must be run on the firewall with the switch -online-license-activation.
• B. Using the Gaia First Time Configuration Wizard, the appliance connects to the Check Point User Center and downloads all necessary licenses and contracts.
• C. The SmartLicensing GUI tool must be launched from the SmartConsole for the Online Activation tool to start automatically.
• D. No action is required if the firewall has internet access and a DNS server to resolve domain names.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it describes the process where the Gaia First Time Configuration Wizard facilitates the connection to the Check Point User Center for license retrieval. Option A is incorrect because it refers to a command that is not necessary for this method. Option C is also wrong since the SmartLicensing GUI is not required for Online Activation, and option D is misleading because some initial configuration is still needed despite having internet access.
