# CloudGuard Central Licenses deleted from the Security Management R81.20 Jumbo Hotfix Take 26

**Product**: Cloud Firewall, Licensing  
**Version**: R81.20  
**OS**: Gaia  
**Platform**: All  
**Last Modified**: 2024-04-15

## Symptoms

- CloudGuard Central Licenses are removed from the CloudGuard Central License pool on the Security Management and from the Security Gateways after upgrade to R81.20 Jumbo Hotfix Take 26.

## Solution

This problem was fixed. The fix is included in:

- [**Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R81.20**](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R81.20/Default.htm) **starting from Take 38**

**Note:**

- If you upgraded using the migrate_server utility (export DB > Fresh install > Import DB) then make sure to run the `$MDS_FWDIR/scripts/alignLicensesInDB.sh` script after importing the database.

- If you already upgraded to **R81.20 Take 26**, upgrading to Take 38 will not resolve the issue automatically. The licenses need to be added to the Security Management / MDS using the instructions below.

If you installed **Take 26** or choose not to upgrade, follow these steps:

On the **Security Management Server**, use the `vsec_lic_cli` tool to resolve this problem.

Run:

1. `vsec_lic_cli add <license string>`  
2. `vsec_lic_cli distribute`

For the **Multi-Domain Server (MDS) HA environment** in the mds mode only (if you were using domain mode, use the Security Management Server under relevant domain/CMA), the license should be added to each MDS:

1. Add the license to each MDS (primary and secondary) by running  
   `cplic put <license string>`

2. Distribute the licenses on each MDS server to all Security Gateways:  
   `vsec_lic_cli distribute`
