Hi - It's working in challenge and response. It provides a code. You give this code to your IT suport and they provide the "answer"/response to your code. However SafeGuard Easy is an old product and it's End Of Life. It may be worth launching a support call with Sophos, but as the product has been cut off a good while ago - you may be out of options. You need to speak to the team/staff member that was/is responsible for encryption. If they DID get rid of the service, they should have had a decomission plan and have decrypted those laptops. They need access to that server to generate the reply code. You can then "unlock" those drives and decrypt. You need to remove SG Easy as soon as you've decrypted and replace with a newer and supported product.
