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

Question

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

Hi Oliver, 
 Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community. 
 For XGS, this would not be possible even if you replaced the SSD. 
 
 " Note : For XGS hardware, this won&rsquo;t install/run/work, even with replacing the SSD" 
 
 You may refer to the following KB: Sophos Firewall Home 
 I've also verified this with our Internal team. 
 "It's possible to use a home license for SW ISO &ndash; the customer could install SW ISO on any hardware (including SG and XG &ndash; but not on XGS)."
