What is true when using the In-place upgrade method?

The correct answer isD. An in-place upgrade means the existing Check Point computer is upgraded on the same machine while keeping the current configuration and database. In R82 terminology, CPUSE is used for local upgrades on supported Security Management Servers, Log Servers, Security Gateways, VSX Gateways, and related Gaia-based systems. Check Point’s R82 Installation and Upgrade Guide includes separate CPUSE procedures for upgrading Security Management/Log Servers and Security Gateways, and the Release Notes describe CPUSE upgrade as a supported method that keeps the current configuration and database. Option A is too narrow because cluster members are not the only supported targets. Option B is wrong because Security Gateways can also be upgraded with CPUSE. Option C is also too narrow because upgrade support is not limited only to Management HA Primary and Secondary servers. In-place upgrade must still respect supported upgrade paths, prerequisites, backups, and production change planning, but the method is not restricted to only one device type.
