PPTV King 7 will not run latest Sophos Mobile Security

My smartphone will not run the latest version of Sophos Mobile security. It installs but all I get is a blank screen.  It has all the necessary permissions.

It will only run 7.05.2404 and earlier

    Hi Peter jones4,

    The latest SMSec is not officially tested on this specific device. However, I have forwarded it to our developer (Not sure if we can do something at the moment for this device). If you have an active license, please open a case and contact our support if you would like to proceed to investigate it.

    I do not have a license, I am using the free version from Android play. I tried raising a ticket but I got redirected to the community forum (here)

    Hi Ray,

    I appreciate that the latest version may not be tested but I have to go back to version 7 to get it to work, and it is patchy even then. I have lifted all restriction and allowed all permissions.

    And I get the annoying upgrade prompts every time which I cannot seem to switch off

    Regards...Peter

    You are right about the updates being annoying because of no option to switch them off. Don't know how to solve this.
