CheckPoint 4.1 GUI license?

[heywoodjablowme]

Single Nokia box serving as the management box, running ver 4.1. Need to move to a new ISP, hence new external IP.

Check Point took 3 weeks, but finally sent new licenses for hte firewall and VPN clients. THe licenses applied fine and the firewall booted up fine, however when attempting to connect the Windows GUI (internal IP's did not change), I get an error about not having a license for the GUI.

ANy ideas? This is not a MOTIF GUI.... only thing I didn't do after moving the IP was reboot the box - just did a FWSTOP and FWSTART after installing the new license.

Is rebooting necessary if you change the IP in Voyager? I was under the assumption FWSTART wouldn't work if it didn't detect the proper external IP... but FWSTART worked just fine....

If you can give a description of your licence e.g like

CPFW-FIG-250-NG
(it will be something like this but this is for NG)

no sure about the licence issue as you havent given the licence codedescription code.

If you register at

https://usercenter.checkpoint.com/UserCenter/index.jsp

then you will be able to do your own ip address changes instantly and download your licences if you ever need them (it will also give you some details about your licence and what it covers)
