Change registrant of a used Sophos Firewall

MGodau

Hello, 

I have recently bought an used Sophos XG Firewall and im not able to change the registrant and therefore activate my license. 

i tryd to get ahold of the old owner but the company ignores my calls and doesnt answer my mails. 

Does anyone have an idea on how to resolve that problem ? 

i also created a ticket with sophos but they didnt understand or misunderstood my problem and just sent me a manual how to change the registrant...

    Does this matter ? I wanted to use the firewall for a remote / vpn connection

    Yes, it does. If you want to use it as a home user then it does not need to be re-registered. If you want to use it for a business process then yes, it needs to be reregistered as a Sophos hardware device.

    You will need to send the Sophos support team the documentation you have attempted to achieve registration transfer with. Do you know how  long since the device was no longer registered with its previous owner?

    Hello there,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    I searched under your account but couldn't find the case number you mentioned. Would you mind sharing it?

    Unfortunately, this isn’t something Support can help you with, but if you share the Sophos Firewall S/N via PM, I could ask our Customer Care team to assist you.

    Regards,
