  • From looking at the feature list you have lost NTP and HBT:

    2017-01-13T00:03:34.246Z [ 4732] INFO  Environment::Print Features: APPCNTRL AV CORE DLP DVCCNTRL HBT NTP SAV SDU WEBCNTRL

    ...Update...

    2017-01-13T00:30:03.574Z [  816] INFO  Environment::Print Features: APPCNTRL AV CORE DLP DVCCNTRL SAV SDU WEBCNTRL

    2017-01-13T00:30:03.574Z [  816] INFO  Environment::Print Features changed: 1

    In the same log there is a line:
    INFO  SDDSDownloader::SyncInternal Username:

    I assume the username hasn't changed between these updates? Has the license changed? Has a licence expired if you look in Central?

    Did the NTP component also get removed as the feature tag was dropped?  

    Note: NTP would have the service "Sophos Network Threat Protection" associated with it. The Heartbeat component has the service"Sophos Heartbeat". 

    I had heard that the HBT component was going to be incorporated into one of the other components.  So that might be happening but then why did the NTP feature get dropped as well?

    Might be one for Support.
