Sophos UTM Home new licensing model

Sophos UTM Home notified me that my license will expire which surprised me since I remember it mentioning expiring in the year 2099 or 2999. I am pretty sure I went to sleep in my bed and not a stasis pod.

Looking at the license overview on my UTM web admin I see that all advanced features are set to expire and whilst renewing the home license I see that these features are no longer part of the home/essential license.

Are the advanced features available in the Sophos XG home version of the firewall or has the licensing changed there as well? I have done a quick search but could not find anything conclusive. Except a recent official post regarding features that will be disabled after license expiry.

Thanks for your time reading this and answers are much appreciated. Have a nice day.

After reading another question regarding Sophos UTM Home, the OP mentioned that his license is valid for 3 years. So I decided to go through the initial registration process again and was emailed a new home license key.

So what happened was that after getting the expiry notification I logged in to myutm.sophos.com and requested a new license and was presented with the essential license option. After re-registering through secure2.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-utm-home-edition/download.aspx I got the new key emailed and when I log in to myutm.sophos.com and apply for a new license I now get home license as an option.

So for anyone else that ran into this issue: You will have to re-register for a home license only then will it be available as an option when creating a new license through myutm.sophos.com

Thank you Amodin and BAlfson for your fast responses.

Not true. Re-registering is not necessary.. I just renew my home license without re-registering. Look at the last post here Home license expiring / renew missing - Hardware, Installation, Up2Date, Licensing - UTM Firewall - Sophos Community
