Don't forget to count outbound mail servers, anti-virus servers & clients looking for updates, DNS servers, etc. as IP addreses crossing the firewall. We've also seen backup software and other products looking for automatic updates going out quite a bit. You may have far more than the 100 you think you do. As I recall, at least when we licensed, 251 and above is considered unlimited.

Hi All ! We are currently having 59 locations, with each location being on a LAN. All the locations are connected in a WAN. Only 100 users across the WAN are having access to internt Mails and Internet Browsing access. The number of PCs in the WAN across 59 locations is 900. However, all the locationa can access the Internet and transact mails if we allow the same on the Firewall. My question is, 1) Should I take Firewall Licenses only for 100 users who can actually transact mails and browse the internet? 2) Or should I take Firewall licenses for all the 903 users?
We have contacted two vendors. One of them is saying that we need to take 100 licenses, while the other is saying that we need to take 903 licenses.
Can someone please let me know which would be correct? Also is there any document which gives a correct licensing details of Checkpoint Fw-1 in clear layman's terms,
(Of course, if I take 903 licenses, there would be no violation, but if only 100 are taken when I should take 903, I would land in trouble).
