Hi Nuhu Muhammad ,

Prior Upgrading always check Release notes, Upgrade information, KILs etc here: https://docs.sophos.com/releasenotes/index.html?productGroupID=nsg&productID=xg&versionID=18.5 

Then you can begin moving/upgrading to another firmware: https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/19.0/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/AdministratorHelp/BackupAndFirmware/Firmware/FirmwareMoveToDifferentVersion/index.html#upload-and-move-to-a-compatible-version

You can also download firmware on your Sophos Partner Portal: https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/19.0/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/AdministratorHelp/BackupAndFirmware/Firmware/FirmwareDownloadFirmware/index.html

Thank you for your prompt support Rafael, i have two more question/clarifications to make. can i buy my license renewal directly from sophos? Secondly  which specific SSL Certificate for Active directory authentication can i use? can you recommend any link i can buy the certificate? attached is the screenshot of the SSL from the dashboard for further clarifications

Hi Nuhu Muhammad ,

Good day and thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community hope you are well

For your item#1: You should reach out to Sophos sales and they would be assigning you a local partner or if you have a preferred partner, you could procure licensing needs for your desired Sophos Solutions with them. It's unlikely that you can directly purchase this with Sophos, I strongly recommend you to speak with a Sales Rep on your region for this instead and be guided accordingly.

For #2: Kindly create a another separate post so it can be viewed also by other users and be answered and tagged accordingly.
