Curious: at one customer we have GB-1000 V3.2.0 and have just upgraded
another customer from v3.1.3 to v3.2.1 - but the same VPN client (at our
office) still works with both GB-1000.
I did see something about this in the release notes for 3.2.1 - these lines
might be relevant:
"5. VPN - VPN client licensing is now enforced on the firewall.
Previously licensing was enforced on the workstation.
6. VPN - Systems that support mobile VPN clients (GB-100, GB-1000,
and GB-Flash) now support one mobile VPN client connection by
default. Additional concurrent connections require the purchase
of activation codes."
I don't understand how 5 works, but I can see that 6 will be relevant for
users wanting more than two or more concurrent VPN connections - and that
each GB-1000 of a HA pair will require an activation code. Is this what
Mike Burden meant?
