"Could not contact primary server" error for last 2 days

my last sophos update was on Mar 11, 2015 0720 PDT. Sophos 8.0.25C/engine 3.50.1 on mac OS X 10.5.8

found sophos Article ID: 118209, but its instructions for dealing with this error do not match the version I have, which has only the options "update now",  "show auto-update window" (which just shows the error) and a couple of local scanning options

I see that there were a spate of complaints about this error from a year ago, with the advice "it will just clear itself", but in my case, it's been 2 days and another more modern mac on my same lan has no such problem: a mac 10.10.2 running sophos 9.2.4.

I recall something a year ago about sophos ending support for mac 10.5, but since my updates continued until 2 days ago, I figured I had misunderstood.

Can someone clarify for me the situation? Is my 10.5.8 mac still supported by sophos? Should I just wait for it "to clear itslef', or is there something else I should do? (please spare me flip remarks to the effect "update your os"--I do not like the newer OS Xs--10.6 lacks a number of nice built-in functions like dictionary, later ones lack the 2-dim expose' and my 10.10.2 crashes every week, like a pc).  --thanks
