Check Point provides several licensing models to meet different customer needs.

Perpetual: A one-time purchase that grants a permanent right to use the software. Support and updates require a separate, renewable contract.

Subscription: A time-based license (e.g., 1, 2, or 3 years) that bundles the right to use the software with support, updates, and upgrades for the duration of the term.

Evaluation/Trial: Temporary licenses, typically for 15 or 30 days, that allow potential customers to test the full functionality of a product before purchasing. While functionally similar, "Trial" is often used in marketing, leading to an "Evaluation" license in the User Center.

B. Evaluation, Perpetual, Test, Free: "Test" is not an official Check Point license category; the correct term is "Evaluation" or "Trial". "Free" is not a primary commercial model.

C. Free, Evaluation, Annual, Lifetime: "Annual" describes a common subscription duration, not a distinct license type. "Lifetime" is a synonym for the official term "Perpetual".

D. Annual, Perpetual, Test, Free: This option contains multiple incorrect terms. "Annual" is a duration, and "Test" is not an official license type.

1. Check Point R81.20 Security Management Administration Guide: In the chapter on "Managing Licenses and Contracts," the guide explicitly details the process for generating and installing an Evaluation license. This confirms "Evaluation" as an official license type for product testing. (See Chapter: Managing Licenses and Contracts > Licensing > Adding a New License).

2. Check Point Infinity Total Protection Datasheet: This official document describes the offering as an "all-inclusive, per-user, per-year subscription." This establishes "Subscription" as a core licensing model for Check Point's modern security solutions. (See section: "Simple All-Inclusive Security").

3. Check Point Quantum Security Gateway Appliance Datasheets: These documents typically outline the purchase of the hardware appliance, which grants a Perpetual right to use the base Gaia operating system. Software blade functionality is then added via subscriptions. This illustrates the long-standing "Perpetual" model. (See any Quantum appliance datasheet, e.g., for the 3800 series, under "Ordering Information").

4. Check Point Official Website (checkpoint.com): The main product pages frequently feature "Start a Free Trial" or "Request a Demo" buttons. This marketing terminology is the public-facing entry point for obtaining a temporary Evaluation license, validating "Trial" as a recognized term in the Check Point ecosystem.
