Why each option
A Check Point Local license is cryptographically bound to the IP address of a specific Security Gateway and becomes invalid if moved to a gateway with a different IP.
A Central license is managed from the Security Management Server and is not tied to the IP address of a specific gateway, allowing more flexible deployment across gateways.
'Corporate' is not a recognized Check Point license type and does not appear in Check Point's official licensing model.
'Formal' is not a defined Check Point license category and is not part of the Check Point licensing nomenclature.
A Local license is generated using the specific IP address of the target Security Gateway, embedding that address into the license key. If the gateway IP changes or the license is transferred to a different appliance with a different IP address, the license will fail validation and must be regenerated against the new IP.
