We have a SG105 with support license, renewed every year. I read elsewhere on the forum that Sophos is promoting XG over UTM with development. I figured, maybe with the Shelter in Place order, we could look in to fixing something that is not broken. ;) Plus, it would be nice to upgrade to firewall manage the ap and have new features.
Article https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/122869 shows the SG105 is eligible for upgrade and migration of license to XG software. According to https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/121502#SG%20Series%20Appliances, the SG105 doesn't have a EOL declared and the XG105 has a declared EOL date of August of 2022.
if I were to upgrade the SG105 software to XG, will it accelerate the EOL to August of 2022? Or does the unit remain designated as an SG firewall with XG software and the EOL remains "undeclared"? Are the any disadvantages to upgrading? I would like to continue the support licensing with the new platform.
Thanks in advance.
