The Essentials license is for businesses and has a very restricted feature set.
The Home-Use license is a different beast. It is the equivalent of a 50-IP Full Guard license with restrictions on customization of messages. You can do Active-Passive with no problem!

I'm using it in the core of a personal lab where I have a ton of devices (GNS3, ESXi hosts being spun up for lab testing, etc.).
Anyway, seems like the answer is no [:)]
It would be a nice feature request as I would like to replace my pfsense firewalls with the Sophos UTM for basic lab "module" firewalling services (not internet facing).
You get a 30-day, unlimited, Full-Guard license when you install. If you aren't already working with a knowledgeable reseller, you should connect with Sophos Sales/Presales for a recommendation of a good one.

It's important to understand , like Bob mentioned , using home Lisence it's for home only. Using it in a business / production environment it's illegal.
