UTM is counting Hosts not using the Firewall and so eating up Licenses - License Usage exceeding 110%

jochen.richert

Can someone tell me, why the license policy is changing from upgrade to upgrade?

My problem is, I receive now again the message, that my license usage is exceeding 110%. There was a time, the firewall only counted hosts really using the firewall. I have 4 UPS, 10 IP Phones and a lot of other devices like printers, Geiger X-Ray Counter, Serial to LAN converter, 3 internal NTP Server which definitely stay in my LAN and are not using the WAN connection. These devices are all counted by UTM and so eating up licenses. What can I do that these LAN devices, which are not using WAN services,  are ignored by licese counting?
Many thanks, Jochen

    Hi,


    i don't know if the UTM also counts devices which request an IP via DHCP. Maybe this is why it counts your devices? Try using pre-defined static IP's for devices that don't change and only use DHCP for devices like on WiFi.


    Maybe a Sophos guy can answer that in more detail, but i think that this may help.
