Hi All.
i have a small question actually.
i encountered the xg home option and wanted to try it.
i registered and got a serial number to my email
i installed a virtual machine and went through the wizard
i entered my serial number and finished all the steps
now i see in the web ui that my license is an evaluation license for 30 days
isnt that a mistake???
Hi Avi Bar Ilan
Please do share the screenshot of the UI, so that I would be able to guide you further.

Hi Avi Bar Ilan
Evaluating means the license is on trial basis. If you could provide your device serial number (Via Private message), I can help you understand better.

Hi
sure thing.
this is my serial: C01001399TMB335
Hi Avi Bar Ilan
Thank you. Your device has been registered on trial basis which is valid until 2/8/2018 and trial license is only for 30 days. If you want full license, you need to purchase it by keeping order with the partner or your reseller.

what do you mean?
i thought that sophos home edition is free.
thats what is says on your website:
"Our Free Home Use XG Firewall is a fully equipped software version of the Sophos XG firewall, available at no cost for home users – no strings attached."
Hi Avi Bar Ilan
I guess you might have opted for the trial license during the registration process. Please refer to the article Sophos Firewall: How to register and activate your XG Firewall after a fresh installation. The first option should be chosen and the serial you provided should be used to register the device.
Let me know if this helps resolve your query.
