Xg Home free on SG 135 REV 2 ?

Hello,

i get back from my company an old SG 135 REV 2, i installed the iso HW-18.0.4_MR-4-506.iso but it seems i cannot use it with the home version, it's just 30 days trials.

I tried to install another iso (for intel hardware ) but i have an erro "Detected Sophos Physical Device. Please get proper installation source".

Can you confirm i cannot use a home XG free on the SG 135 without paid?

Thank you !

PS : I already search on the community but it never very clear.

I followed theses instructions and now all works fine ! 1) Resetted the BIOS to default values (maybe this step wasn't needed), anyway i could'nt reverse it at all, so who cares... 2) Connected Bootable…

Hello,

You need to fully wipe out the disk before installing, you can do this with any Linux distribution.

After It you will be able to install the Software version on It.

Thanks!

Hi Prism,

can i do it with Gparted? After that, the Sophos XG iso it does not recognize the Sophos appliance right?

Thank you!

You should be able to use Gparted, you will need to delete all partitions. (Don't forget to save/apply the changes after deleting the partitions with Gparted.)

There's is multiple threads like yours here in the forum, on almost all of them, they only had to wipe out the drive in order to install the Software version.

I deleted all partitions using Gparted but the error still showing "Detected Sophos Physical Device. Please get proper installation source". Is it possible i don't have the good iso?

1) Resetted the BIOS to default values (maybe this step wasn't needed), anyway i could'nt reverse it at all, so who cares...
2) Connected Bootable USB Stick and installed Ubuntu Server, just default "next next" installation.
3) Connected stick with the installer of XG software and did an install. Now the installer recognized it as a, lets say "normal intel architecture". Installation successful afterwards :-)

Thats really odd. I deleted all partitions on an XG125W with GParted from a Kali Live USB and had no issues thereafter.
