Why each option
Central Licenses in Check Point can be installed directly on a Security Gateway using the CPLIC command-line tool, making option D the correct true statement.
CLI is not the preferred method for licensing in Check Point environments - SmartUpdate or SmartLicense on the Security Management Server is the standard recommended approach for Central License distribution.
It is factually incorrect to say Central Licenses cannot be installed on a Security Gateway, since the CPLIC tool specifically supports this operation.
Central Licenses are not installed via the Gaia web portal on Security Gateways; the correct CLI tool for direct gateway installation is the CPLIC command, not Gaia's management interface.
The CPLIC command-line utility is a fully supported method for installing a Central License directly on a Check Point Security Gateway. A Central License is anchored to the Management Server IP address and can be distributed to gateways; CPLIC provides the CLI mechanism to apply that license locally on the gateway without requiring the Gaia portal.
