LATEST UPDATE - September 10th 2019 
 Major Sandboxie News: Sandboxie is now a free tool with plans to transition it to an open source tool 
 https://community.sophos.com/products/sandboxie/f/forum/115109/major-sandboxie-news-sandboxie-is-now-a-free-tool-with-plans-to-transition-it-to-an-open-source-tool/414182#414182 
 Hi all, 
 This is Barb@Invincea (Barb@Sophos in this community). 
 First, we'd like to explain a bit of what happened with Sandboxie.com and the forums (forums.sandboxie.com -currently offline): 
 We started experiencing issues with our servers due to a bug that is causing slowness accessing the Sandboxie site, as well as the licensing/activation options. Added to that, we found a security weakness in the software being used for the forums, and out of an abundance of caution, they were taken down for the time being. 
 In order to keep communication going, we have created this temporary forum within our Sophos Community. 
 Second, here's the current status of things: 
 
 A new Sandboxie build has been created to help us address part of the issues, but due to the current server status, it cannot be automatically pushed to users. To manually download it please see below: Click here to download Sandboxie 5.30 Latest Beta versions are listed here 
 As of now, we will only support issues related to Sandboxie 5.30 (XP users see below). 
 XP Users need to perform the following steps to avoid their computers to constantly use your network to access sandboxie.com : 
 Click Help --> Check for Updates Choose "Next week" Do not choose "Never" (or your computer will not stop contacting the Sandboxie site, using your network resources). 
 For the time being, buying options are not available (to prevent additional issues with our licensing server). 
 Licenses and activations are working now. For activation issues please follow this thread: Activation failed - Please provide feedback For Offline activations: the page is not properly redirecting, please use these links instead: Offline activation Offline activation steps 
 Dev teams are actively working on investigating the issues and finding fixes for them. 
 
 We would like to thank everybody for their patience and understanding. Please, feel free to start a new thread in this forum as needed (Sandboxie v5.30 only). Regards, Barb.-

Hi Konrad Koan , 
 Licensing questions are addressed via support@sandboxie.com 
 Having said that, depending on your license type, you may be able to activate multiple computers (old lifetime licenses), or one computer that you own (if this is the case, you can safely enable it on the other computer, since the Win XP one is not activated). Here's more information: https://www.sandboxie.com/FAQ_Licensing 
 Q. Do I need to license (pay for) Sandboxie multiple times, to use it on more than one computer at home? 
 
 A. Yes. You can use a single product key (which corresponds to a single license) of Sandboxie on one computer at a time. A VM or dual boot machine would need a license for the VM and the host machine (thus 2 licenses) This does not apply to non-personal use (including commercial, educational, governmental, and not-for-profit use). 
 Thanks!
