Which Remote Access Client With Which Gateway?

The recent Remote Access Clients E75.10 release  actually released three separate clients:

* Endpoint Security VPN (a.k.a. replacement for Secure Client)
* Check Point Mobile for Windows (essentially Secure Client without desktop firewall)
* SecuRemote (with 64-bit support) 

All three clients are installed from the same MSI file.

Not every client is compatible with every version of Security Gateway/VSX/UTM-1 EDGE device. Currently none of these clients work with the SG80 device, but will be in the next software update.

The following is a definitive list of what will work with what and what licenses you will need. 

Endpoint Security VPN (a.k.a. the next generation of Secure Client) is supported with the following security gateways (available today, unless otherwise noted):

* R65.70 + hotfix from sk61286
* R70.40 + hotfix from sk61286
* R71.30
* R75 
* VSX R67.10 (to be released)
* Sofaware firmware 8.2.33 

Endpoint Security VPN requires an Endpoint Container + Remote Access Blade to cover each user. Licensing is per-seat (i.e. each user that could connect with Endpoint Security VPN must be licensed).

Check Point Mobile for Windows is supported with the following security gateways –

* R75 + hotfix from sk60940
* Sofaware firmware 8.2.33

Check Point Mobile for Windows requires Mobile Access Blade licenses (CPSB-MOB), which are licensed by number of concurrent users that connect. It will also work with all gateways that support Endpoint Security VPN if you have a Endpoint Container + Remote Access Blade license to cover the user. 

SecuRemote (for Windows 64-bit) is supported with the following security gateways -

* R65.70 + hotfix from sk61286
* R70.40 + hotfix from sk61286
* R71.30
* R75.10 (to be released)
* VSX R67.10 (to be released)
* Sofaware firmware 8.3 (to be released)

SecuRemote requires an IPSec VPN Blade license and has no per-user limits. It does not require a special license like it did in NGX and earlier.
