Use Home License on New Sophos XGS 107?

After more than a decade of faithful service, the generic intel box I was using with the software version of Sophos XG has started failing. I was going to get another similar box, but in reading the various discussions on repurposing old XG/SG appliances, decided to take a different route and purchased a brand new Sophos XGS107 appliance, but without any license.

Given that it's a brand new license, I was wondering if it might be possible to avoid the hassle of wiping the existing drive on the appliance and activating the unit using my existing home license serial number. Does anyone know if that would work? 

On a related note, would it be better to use my existing home license serial number (which will still be running while I set up the new appliance) or instead apply for additional home license serial number and use that instead?

Any advice would be most appreciated.

  • Thank you very much Ian and Erick. I was not aware that the appliance includes a perpetual base license. That's great.

    However, based on a review of the licensing guide provided by Erick, it seems that the base license has a couple of things missing as compared to a home license - specifically e-mail and web server protection, both of which seem to require separate subscriptions (and which I currently use in my existing setup). Would that be correct? Are there any other modules that are included with the home license that are not included with the base license?
