Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81 — Question 44

Why is a Central License the preferred and recommended method of licensing?

Answer options

• A. Central Licensing actually not supported with Gaia.
• B. Central Licensing is the only option when deploying Gala.
• C. Central Licensing ties to the IP address of a gateway and can be changed to any gateway if needed.
• D. Central Licensing ties to the IP address of the management server and is not dependent on the IP of any gateway in the event it changes.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is accurate because Central Licensing is designed to be tied to the management server's IP address, ensuring stability even if gateway IPs change. Options A and B are incorrect as they provide misleading information about the support and exclusivity of Central Licensing. Option C is wrong since it misrepresents the association of Central Licensing with gateway IPs rather than management server IPs.
