Why each option
The Check Point Management Server supports unlimited concurrent sessions, but enforces a limit of one active session per administrator account at a time.
Session limits are tied to administrator accounts, not to licensed gateways; gateway licensing governs enforcement capacity, not management session concurrency.
Allowing only one total session globally would prevent multiple administrators from working simultaneously, which contradicts Check Point's multi-administrator management design.
Multiple sessions per single administrator are not permitted at the same time; the system restricts each administrator account to one concurrent session to avoid policy conflicts.
Check Point SmartConsole enforces a per-administrator session model where each administrator can have one active session open at a time, preventing conflicting changes from the same account. There is no hard cap on total simultaneous sessions across all administrators, so the total number of open sessions is only bounded by the number of administrator accounts.
