Purchase Key

Richard Marsh

Hi Guys, 

 

i used to work for a Sophos re-seller, recently left and now my UTM at home (SG105W) needs a new key, of course i don't have any ACT or Licenses for it and not working for the reseller any longer they are unwilling to help. I own the kit myself (brought it through the reseller to train at home but actually ended up setting my house up with it too!). I only use this for home use, my wife and I.

 

How do i get a license key to apply, i expect i will need to pay, thats fine, what do i do first?

Thanks.

    Hi Richard,

    just convert your hardware version to an software version.
    So you can use the free home edition for you appliance.

    Convert to Software:
    - connect via ssh to your utm
    - rename the file asg under /etc -> mv /etc/asg /etc/asg_old
    - reboot the utm

    After the reboot you should be able to install the free home license.

    Best regards

    thanks DKKDG but i already ran out of license, hadnt noticed as its a 105w so the wifi hadn't gone off actually on the box.

     

    so i have a screen and keyboard plugged in but need to know where to head and how to get to root, i thought typing SU would prompt me but no good....

     

    any pointers or instructions? 

     

    thanks

    You should be able to login directly as root on the console.  Do you know the root password?

    Cheers - Bob
