Dear all First off, please accept my apologies should this topic have been covered previously. However, as of this moment I am unable to find any clear reference. Situation: We have a customer who would like to implement a site-to-site VPN solution between head office and remote office. There are only two offices with approximately 20 clients in branch and 50 in head office. Both offices are connected to internet by ADSL connections. There are no intentions to purchase additional leased line for the sake of VPN. We are designing a VPN solution wich would possibly include the purchase of either Netscreen 5GT or SSG5. I am in the middle of designing a solution using a Route-Based site-to-site VP when I stumbled across few posts which advised to purchase the extended license from beginning. Obviously, the client would like to spend as little as possible and we would like to earn as much as possible, but I am doubtful if extended license is necessary in this situation. The solution in question is Route-Based or Policy-Based VPN which would forward packets between offices depending on the request. Clients in both offices would still be able to access the internet and shared resources in both offices. However, and this is what I don`t clearly understand - would this mean that 10 tonnel (5GT) and 20 Tonnel (SSG5) default license would allow only 10/20 simultaneous sessions making it necessary to purchase the extended licenses? Or does it mean that only 1 tonnel will be made thus making extended license obsolete? There is no clear information on the subject available, and so I am flying in the dark here. Would like to thank you very much for taking your time on the matter. Yours Faithfully
