  • For an SG hardware device you need a hardware license code, which is not available for free.

    The "home" license is software only, that is you can use an x86 compatible small system for a homelab. It has to have at least two compatible NICs, though.

    Search inside this forum and you will find lots of suggestions for this kind of hardware for this purpose.

  • Hi Philipp,

    doesn't the "trick" with removing/renaming the /etc/asg file (or re-imagiging with the Software-ISO) any longer?
    From my observations, all ASG, SG and XG devices are rather standard x86 units with just a fixed configuration (CPU model, RAM size, Disk brand) and the Sophos Serial stored in the DMI area.
    An SG105 has no LCD, so nothing special to worry about (except maybe the NIC order).

  • It still works, friend of mine did it on 9.712 and has it running at his house.

  • Hi Alan,

    this trick works, I was just explaining to him, why he couldn't do it the way he wanted. because it is not menat to be used on a Sophos hardware appliance.

    : try searching the forum for the workaround with something like "free license".

  • Hi Alan and Philipp,

    Here's an interesting, relevant link: ASG 425 Display with home license
