C. Local licensing because it ties the package license to the MAC-address of the gateway management interface and has no Security Management Server dependency.

D. Central licensing because it ties the package license to the MAC-address of the Security Management Server Mgmt-interface and has no dependency of the gateway.

Explanation: Central License

A Central License is a license attached to the Security Management server IP address, rather than the gateway IP address. The benefits of a Central License are:

  • Only one IP address is needed for all licenses.
  • A license can be taken from one gateway and given to another.
  • The new license remains valid when changing the gateway IP address. There is no need to create and install a new license.
