We did not update the libsw files. The ones included with R65 has a
PolicyUpdateVersion=511 while the 7.0.33 release is 516. I don't think
that should make any difference to the VPN tunnels. It might make a
difference to the management of the Edge boxes from SmartCenter, but
unless something has change significantly with 7.0.33 (and thereby
making all older Edge releases incompatible with R65) I can't see that
it would change the outcome.

We have tried VPN tunnels, both using integrated as well as stand alone
edge boxes with manual VPN site setups - which has been running fine for
years. 

So far we have been unsuccessful in getting R65 and Edge to play and had
to revert to our old R55 production servers again. I'll be ordering a
new Edge box to play with in a test environment to see if we can
reproduce the errors.

If you want to upgrade to R65 I would certainly test it together with an
Edge box first, and test it well. I've also reported the issue to our
supplier who I hope can take the matter on with Checkpoint.

Usually there is a LIBSW that need to be upgraded in the Managment
Server if anything is upgraded with the Edge devices.
Have you checked that you have the correct LIBSW (this is a directory)
for your Edge devices on the management server?

Please let us know if you still have a problems with R65, becuase I wil
postpone my upgrade since we have a lot of Edge Devices too.
Regards

As expected, a simplified policy and full integration of the edge
appliances with smartcenter and VPN communities did not solve this
issue. The same error still occurs after a few minutes.  Even tried to
upgrade the Edge firmware to 7.0.33, but to no help.

I suspect this might be a bug in R65 where Edge profiles are
concerned...

If I remember right, in Traditional mode the hash methods are specified
on each encrypt rule.  The behavior you see might result from having
most of your encrypt rules specifying the right method, but one rule is
specifying another method.

As others have said, VPN Communities avoid this problem entirely.
