Is Enhanced Plus Support needed for HA Active-Standby?

Question

Hi 
 
 I'm buying two new XGS2100 and I want to configure them in HA Active-Standby. Do I absolutely need to purchase the Enhanced Plus Support license to enable this feature? It seems strange to me, as we already have older devices that don&rsquo;t have this license

Technically, it is not needed. 
 But if you do not have an Enhanced Plus, Sophos would not replace the second node in case of a failure.

They will of course replace it during warranty, but it's a simple RMA that can take long time and has nothing to do with the paid service. Active/Passive: Option 1: enhanced licence -> your problem to buy a new second appliance after warranty Option 2: enhanced plus licence -> Sophos will care of all 2 appliances after warranty
