below processes for the scenarios:
1. PoC Evaluation dashboard creation.......................................................................... 1

1. PoC Evaluation Dashboard Creation
When obtaining a SandBlast Mobile dashboard for PoC you should note the following:
The Sales representative (CheckPoint/Partner) who will support the POC will activate
the SandBlast Mobile PoC dashboard and hand it over to the customer as part of the
PoC kick-off
There will be a 30 days EVAL (evaluation) license for 50 devices that will be requested
using the Check Point User Center (UC)
The Sales representative will need to add himself as a contact in the UC Account of the
customer/partner for which the POC will be conducted. Alternatively he can ask the
customer to add him as a Licenser in the Customer’s UC Account
Follow the process below:
1. Access to customer UC Account - if you already have access to your customer UC
Account you can skip this step, Otherwise you have the following 3 options:
1.1. Option 1 - ask your customer to add your UC user as a ‘Licenser’ in the Customer’s
UC Account.
1.2. Option 2 - Open a new UC Account in the Customer name – Also relevant for a brand
new Check Point customer.

issue the new license close to the end of the current 30 days period. Number of
extensions will be limited as well since the goal here is to drive for POC closure and
go/no-go purchase decision.
4.2. As an exception you can request in advance a special EVAL for more licenses and/or
for a longer time period (up to 1yr) – please contact the relevant Sales representative

The following process starts when the customer purchased SandBlast Mobile licenses for
production usage after a successful PoC Evaluation period.
Follow the process below to apply the new Production License purchased on the existing PoC
Dashboard. Customers select this option, if they don’t want to start over the deployment (e.g.
keep the same devices used in testing, keep the same configurations) or if they want to keep
the existing Dashboard URL:
1. Check Point Order Entry team Deliver licenses to the relevant UC Account of the customer.
Based on the PO/SO we will have the customer user center account ID to deliver to
(contact email) once this was delivered an email is sent, if you didn’t get the email the

evaluation. In the next step you will attach the production license from the dashboard
itself.
