The MHO (Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator) does not require a license by itself, but each SGM (Security Group Module) that is attached to the MHO needs a license. The license type depends on the features and blades that are enabled on the SGM. For example, if the SGM is running VSX, it needs a VSX license.

HealthCheck Point (HCP) is a tool that can perform various tests and checks on the system components of the Security Group Modules (SGMs), such as hardware, software, network, clock, ARP, and more. It can also display the performance statistics of the SGMs, such as throughput, packet rate, CPU utilization, memory usage, and more. Additionally, HCP can provide a graphical representation of the Firewall topology for the Security Group, showing the connections and statuses of the SGMs and the Orchestrators. Furthermore, HCP can generate a report of the critical and informative events that occurred on the system, such as configuration changes, errors, warnings, and alerts. HCP can help identify and troubleshoot any issues or errors that may affect the system functionality or performance.

This is the correct answer because it describes the security policy installation flow for a Maestro Security Group. The SMO Master is the Security Group Member that acts as the leader and the single point of contact for the Management Server. The SMO Master verifies the policy and installs it first, then notifies the other SGMs that a new policy is available. The other SGMs fetch the policy from the SMO Master and install it in parallel.
