Question
Options
- AYou can re-use your existing open server license (BYOL-Bring your own license)
- BYou use the built-in license from the AWS market (PAYG-Pay As You Go)
- CYou use as many CloudGuard licenses as you have virtual cores in the VM (BYOL-Bring your
- DYou use a license for CloudGuard AWS you buy at CP (BYOL-Bring your own license)
Explanation
Option C is the not possible scenario because Check Point's BYOL licensing model does not operate on a per-virtual-core basis - you purchase and apply a single license to a CloudGuard gateway instance, regardless of how many vCPUs it has. Licensing is tied to the appliance/gateway itself, not scaled 1:1 with virtual cores.
Options A, B, and D are all valid and supported scenarios: A correctly describes BYOL by migrating an existing on-premises open server license to the cloud; B correctly describes the PAYG model available through the AWS Marketplace, where you pay hourly based on usage; and D is simply another valid BYOL path - purchasing a new CloudGuard AWS license directly from Check Point.
Memory tip: Think of BYOL as "one license for the box" - you bring your license (singular) to the cloud. The moment you see "one license per core," that's a red flag, because Check Point doesn't sell CloudGuard licenses that way.
