Hi, Sofos network,

Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

For Firmware version

• Sophos release notes

For downloading other firmware, kindly refer to the link

• Download firmware from Sophos Central

The upgrade path to V20 is seen below in the release note. 

Hi Erick Jan 

but now i have SFOS 19.0.1 MR-1...!

I usually download and install it from the console, it's easier..
I don't know the other method once I download the file from sophos central

Hi,

Kindly refer to the following KBs.

• Firmware
• Load firmware using SFLoader

Hi,

so after checking, upgarde path will be:

1- from SFOS 19.0.1 MR-1 to SFOS 19.0 MR-3 build 517

then

2- from SFOS 19.0 MR-3 build 517 to SFOS 19.5 MR-4build 718

3- download these firmware from sophos central  ( the "sig" file)

4- Upload it  and reboot

5-the HA will be upgraded

that's all???

Hello there,

That would be the path to follow; your HA should upgrade automatically once you start the Firmware Upgrade in the Active Sophos Firewall

a lot of thanks

Hello,

Additionally, since you are using a Hardware device, I would recommend accessing this link https://download.sophos.com/firmware/HW/index.html and Downloading the versions ending in 300 if you have an XG 330. 

Regards,

Hello,

ok, so these two versions, but can you tell me the difference between SW-19.0.3_MR-3.SFW-517.sig and HW-19.0.3_MR-3.SF300-517.sig ??

i didn't find before  sophos articles witch talk about HW..or SW...when you upgrading firmware

can you explain please

SW is for your own supplied hardware. HW is for Sophos supplied hardware.

Hi,

For the HW version,this is mainly use for Sophos Hardware while the SW is for non Sophos Hardware.

HW - Dedicated hardware's for XG/XGS model

SW - Any platform like simulators hyper V, Virtual box, vmware..etc

You may also check the following similar thread

community.sophos.com/.../hw-18-0-0_ga-build321-321-iso-vs-sw-18-0-0_ga-build321-321-iso

So why then does sophos ask us to download the firmware from sophos central when the available versions are SW! but no HW ?

Hi,

i suspect you have identified a bug and need to raise a support case.

Hi rfcat_vk 

Sorry, ultimately it's not a bug, I wasn't looking in the right way.
I had to go to  my account details and click Licensing, Search for my firewall, then click the arrow next to its name to see its details,i'll see my firmware (HW)  downloads on the right.
