Re: Firewall licensing purpose, methods, and techniques

Symantec's SEF (?), aka Raptor, is based on number of protected IP
addresses.  Technically they include even things that do not send any
traffic through the firewall, like a print server.  As a practical matter,
the firewall records all internal IP addresses that it handles traffic for
until it hits the license limit.  IP addresses expire after a week or so.
If you are using DHCP, you better make sure your lease time is longer than
a week, or that your DHCP address space isn't bigger than your license
limit.
