Why each option
Check Point license transfers are only permitted between devices of the same category - specifically, appliance-to-appliance transfers are valid, while transfers between open servers and appliances are not.
Transferring from a Check Point appliance to an open server (HP) is not permitted because licenses are category-locked - appliance licenses cannot move to open server platforms.
Transferring between two open servers from different vendors (IBM to HP) is not a supported scenario under Check Point's licensing transfer policy.
Transferring a license from a 4400 Appliance to a 2200 Appliance is valid because both are Check Point-branded appliances within the same hardware category. Check Point's licensing policy permits transfers within the appliance family, allowing organizations to reallocate licenses as they change hardware models.
Transferring from an open server (IBM) to a Check Point appliance (2200) is not allowed because cross-category transfers between open server and appliance platforms are prohibited.
