Is Sophos XG Firewall Home Edition license still available?

Question

Hello, 
 
 I want to do a test drive of the Sophos XG firewall in my home lab, but I have a problem obtaining a home license. 
 This URL no longer works: https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-xg-firewall-home-edition.aspx 
 Also, I can no longer find it under the "Free tools" section anymore. 
 
 Instead, this URL points to an online demo instance of Sophos XG firewall. 
 I am not sure, if the Home edition of Sophos XG was canceled, or if it just suspended as Sophos is currently upgrading their order processing and licensing systems as per: https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000045616 
 
 My question is, did the Sophos XG Home license get canceled completely or it will be available again in a few weeks after the licensing systems get back online? 
 
 Thanks,

So you cannot generate SFOS Home license while the BST Migration: Business Systems Transformation - Updates Coming in October Only Central Licenses can be generated - Not SFOS home. Therefore you will not get a Email. This service will be available in 2 weeks.

I don't think they removed with the intention on withdrawing the home license completely. 
 Currently there's an ongoing maintenance with their licensing systems, this affects everyone and that's probably the reason on why they removed the registration form for new home licenses. 
 Advisory: Scheduled Maintenance on Licensing Systems (sophos.com) 
 For the next two weeks, you won't be able to active or register new licenses. (That includes the home license.)

You need to click download button, then it will ask for your name,email etc., and then you will receive serial number via email.
