Hi,

you would use the ISO. Are you talking about a home or business use?

Home use you are limited to 4 cores (preferable real), 6gb of ram and recommended mimmim disk of 60gb, preferably 120gb.

Hi,

I suggest you locate a reseller/partner to help with your selection and licence requirements. If you plan a cloud XG then you can setup instances with limited licences etc.

Depending on your needs, you could be better off using a virtual machine for a Sophos virtual firewall appliance.
