Unsupported Sophos Safeguard Mac firmware

Zavatone

I just bothered to check the required firmware on our Intel Macs that we are about to install Sophos on.  Every one has the unsupported firmware value of :

    | |   "firmware-abi" = <"EFI32">

What are the implications of running under unsupported firmware, is it possible to update the firmware to the supported version?

TIA,

    Hi Alex,

    welcome to the forum. WIth regards to your question I can only tell you that it is planned to have a EFI32 version at some point but there is no time line.

    In order to get the product running on your machines you would require a 64bit EFI. In order to get further details whether your machines can be updated to a 64 bit EFI please contact Apple since we have  no information about this.

    Thank you very much.

    Regards

    Dan

    Thanks Dan.  Appreciate the feedback.

    It appears that the late 2006/2007 Macs can't get a firmware from Apple that will allow them to get a 64 bit EFI.  Since these Macs will "die out", I don't expect any update from Apple, but who knows.

    EFI32 support ships beginning 2011.
