Hi fellows,
is it possible to activate my xg home license on an sg125w appliance?
for UTM9 i have to delete the /etc/asg file on the appliance to use the HW Appliance image with my sg125w. when i installed the sw image of the utm9, the nic order is not matching with the physical ports.
Is this the same problem with the xg OS? Can i use the internal WIFI Card of my appliance with the XG home license?
See https://community.sophos.com/products/xg-firewall/f/46/t/10928. You'll need to use the software ISO, the home license won't work with the hardware ISO install. No workaround for XG, like there is for UTM.

That's great news, but will it then allow me to use my home license?
In reply to BlueRue:
AlanT Does the new release (MR-1.1) allow for the home license to be used on the SG hardware?
any update on this?

You have to delete the partitions on the HDD first, before the install will proceed. It's a safeguard against someone accidentally re-imaging it with the wrong installer. Delete the partitions first, and the software installer will then work on SG and XG appliances. This isn't supported on CR appliances.
Thx Alan,
I've deleted the partition with gParted Live USB. After that the installer worked indeed.
Hi Guys,
I am new to Sophos and privatly interested in Purchasing an Sophos XG 85W Appliance. The Device comes along with all functionalities i am looking for. May its overscaled for home purposes but As an administrator i like to get insights into different solutions.
However, i am Close to order but there are some license things which are confusing me. As already discussed in different posts i like to use the full featured home license on the Appliance itself, including Wireless. Is this possible in the Meanwhile? If not, which function can be used without subscriptions? And can subscriptions adsed to a later point in time, lets say years, if it becomes necessary? Or do i have to license the missing Year afterwards as well?
I am fine with paying the enterprise Advanced subscription but not at the same time as the appliance. If the subscription would be with the device for one year only ecmverytjing would be sorted as well.
Of course if the Home license would Work it is he preferred Solution :)
Thanks,
Sascha

Hi,
do not buy an xg85, go for a model with more memory would be my recommendation. My home built unit has 6gb and uses around 40-55%. Also the current xg devices with inbuilt wifi only support one wifi channel, either 2.4 or 5ghz but not both at the same time.
