Do I need to pay for a central management license to manage my Connectra cluster?
No, a special Check Point SmartCenter License for managing one Connectra cluster only is bundled into each Connectra high-availability product. If you have bought such a product, and that product is under maintenance you should see this license in your User Center account. If you do not have, or do not want to use your existing Check Point SmartCenter to manage your cluster you can install SmartCenter and use this license to manage your Connectra cluster.
