John has renewed his NPTX License but he gets an error (contract for Anti-Bot expired). He wants to check the subscription status on the CLI of the gateway, what command can he use for this?

Explanation

cpstat antimalware -f subscription_status is correct because cpstat (Check Point Statistics) is the dedicated CLI utility for querying blade status and health on Check Point gateways, and the antimalware module covers the Anti-Bot blade - making it the precise tool for inspecting subscription details like expiry.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. fwm lie print - fwm (FireWall Manager) commands manage licensing database entries, not blade subscription queries; this syntax doesn't produce subscription status output.
• B. fw monitor license status - fw monitor is a packet capture tool used for traffic inspection, not license or subscription checking.
• D. show license status - This is a valid command on other vendors (e.g., Cisco), and while Check Point has cplic commands for license info, show license status is not the correct syntax for Anti-Bot subscription details on a Check Point gateway.

Memory tip: Think "cpstat = Check Point Status" - whenever you need runtime blade/subscription health on a Check Point gateway, reach for cpstat. Pair it with the blade name (antimalware for Anti-Bot) and -f subscription_status to filter down to exactly what the question asks.
