Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) Practice Exam

In a distributed environment, how can a Central License be installed on a Security Gateway?

1. Central Licenses are handled via Security Management Server

2. CLI is the preferred method for Licensing

3. Central Licenses are installed via Gaia on Security Gateways

4. Central Licenses can be installed with CPLIC command on a Security Gateway

The correct answer is: Central Licenses can be installed with CPLIC command on a Security Gateway

In a distributed environment, the installation of a Central License on a Security Gateway is accomplished using the CPLIC command. This command is designed specifically for managing licenses on Security Gateways, allowing administrators to install or update licenses in a straightforward manner. Utilizing CPLIC ensures that the licensing process is streamlined and integrated with the overall management of the Gateway. Other methods mentioned, such as installing through the Security Management Server or using CLI commands, do not directly address the specific mechanism for Central License installation, which is distinct from other licensing processes that might involve different components or interfaces within the Check Point architecture. Additionally, while Gaia provides a comprehensive interface for managing various settings on Security Gateways, it does not specialize in the specific installation of Central Licenses as the CPLIC command does. Thus, the use of CPLIC is the authoritative and preferred method for handling Central Licenses in this context.
