  • Hello cptjck28,

    the mechanism for updating from Sophos (and the structure of the download location) is different from the normal one. Thus you have to use the generic Sophos address in the policy drop down (please note that it is only available for the Secondary location).

    [Edit] Also note that download of RMS will fail, which is the expected behaviour, and that the subscription has no effect (the endpoint updates the installed version and upgrades only when it either updates from a regular CID or the version is retired and force-upgraded on the Sophos side) [/Edit]
