Why each option
Check Point Central licenses must be manually assigned to a gateway by an administrator, while Local licenses bind automatically to the gateway based on its IP address.
'Format' and 'corporate' are not valid Check Point license category terms.
The assignment behavior is reversed - 'local' licenses auto-attach, not 'formal' licenses, and 'formal' is not a recognized Check Point license type.
The behaviors are swapped - Central licenses require administrator designation, not Local licenses.
A Central license is stored in the Check Point User Center and must be explicitly attached to a target Security Gateway by an administrator using SmartConsole or the command line. A Local license is tied directly to a specific gateway IP address and attaches automatically when the gateway registers, requiring no manual assignment.
