6. Click Yes to accept the License Agreement.


7. Click Next to accept the default destination folder.


8. I’m going to install all products. Click Next.

  2. Thanks for the your tutorial. I’m able to install & configure a single Check Point firewall. Currently I’m trying to configure a cluster but having some difficulties. There is not much tutorial out there how to configure it. Hopefully you can guide me how to do it. Thanks again for the great tutorial.
