Did I miss something?

For example, on local switch interface:

  • I too am wondering this, and we are getting conflicting answers as to whether the Switch support and services is required to manage the switch from Sophos Central and obtain firmware updates. 

    In Sophos Central, the "Switches" option is there to add and register a switch, but can you manage it, or doe the settings only become read-only?

    The datasheet claims that Support and services is needed for Central Management of the switch.

    sophos released a notice that said the switch support access will be enforced beginning July, which means you could manage the switces in Sophos Central without the subscription until then. partnernews.sophos.com/.../

    If a customer has switch models registered in Sophos Central which are not covered by a Support and Services subscription:

    • the switches remain visible but in a suspended state
      • Configuration changes will not be possible
      • Scheduled backups will not occur
      • Firmware upgrades will not be available
