When choosing PAYG (Pay As You Go) licensing in AWS, it is provided:

Question

Options

• AVia specific dedicated channels
• BDirectly with Check Point
• CAt the marketplace
• DThrough the regular Check Point channels

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  6% (2)
• C
  89% (31)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

When selecting PAYG licensing for Check Point products on AWS, you obtain it through the AWS Marketplace (C), where cloud vendors publish metered or subscription-based software that bills automatically through your AWS account - no separate Check Point contract required.

Options A, B, and D are wrong for the same underlying reason: PAYG in a cloud context is specifically a marketplace/cloud-native billing model, not a traditional vendor sales motion. "Dedicated channels" (A), direct Check Point purchasing (B), and "regular Check Point channels" (D) all describe how you'd buy a traditional BYOL (Bring Your Own License), not PAYG.

Memory tip: Think of PAYG as the cloud's "pay at the pump" model - you swipe your AWS account at the Marketplace, and the meter runs automatically. Any option that routes through Check Point's sales org implies a traditional license negotiation, which is the opposite of PAYG's self-serve intent.
