Home license on XGS hardware - did anyone get this running?

Oliver Schnürer

Dear community,

I recently purchased a pre-owned XGS116w appliance and would like to run the home license on it. There are several forum posts how to start to get a home license onto a XGS hardware, but I could not find any which actually stated "I've succeeded in running a home license on a XGS appliance!".

Maybe my search was not thorough enough, but does anybody successfully run the home license on XGS hardware? 

Thanks,

Oliver

    I haven't tried myself so far, but all posts i could find, ended up in failure as well. Seems like serial number is embedded into mainboard on xgs appliances, so you cannot install software version by replacing or wiping disk....

    Hi FFin, thanks for your reply!

    I fear the attempts to run the home license on XGS hardware are doomed. Although I got me a matching SSD I hesistate to open the appliance and make the guarantee void for an unsure outcome. 

    Hopefully an official Sophos Community Manager can shed some light?

    Cheers,

    Oliver
