Installation failed. Could not download software?

I'm trying to install Sophos endpoint on a device but it keeps stopping at the download section with the below error message:


Installation failed. Could not download software.

 

 

Any ideas of what could be causing this?

  • Can you attach the installer log file?  It's under:
    \programdata\sophos\cloudinstaller\logs\

    I've rebooted twice though. So I'm not sure what the pending reboot could be?

  • Hi Solomon Horn,


    Can you check the following factors and share more entries of the log or attach the entire log file.

    • Check if the license is not expired.
    • If the logged in user has permission or any GPO settings on the permissions?
    • Any firewall or proxy setting in the network? Check this KBA
