SAV for Mac HE is for home ONLY

spike

We introduced Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition due to the lack of high performance consumer Mac AV products on the market.  While Sophos delivers protection for businesses, all business users are personal users and protecting their Macs at home is just as important. 

Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition is designed exclusively for home use.  Use of the software on computers owned or managed by an organization is prohibited.  This includes educational institutions and not for profit organizations requiring or recommending anti-malware protection for computers accessing their networks. Organizations needing anti-malware protection will benefit from all-in-one malware and data protection delivered in Sophos Endpoint Security and Control, including:

  • Cross-platform anti-virus protection
  • Simplified, centralized management
  • Control of applications, devices and network access
  • Integrated DLP and encryption
  • Centrally managed client firewall
  • 24x7 expert support

Sophos values our position as the only vendor 100% focused on delivering security to businesses and organizations, and we offer special pricing for non-profit and educational institutions. For more information on Endpoint Security and Control contact us.

Best regards,

spike

    I believe this is expressly against the EULA which forbids use by businesses and/or organisations.  Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition is for personal use only.  This does allow you to run it on multiple computers in your home if those computers are all for personal use and not for use as part of a business.

    The metric I personally use for "what constitutes home use" is: "Is this running on a computer that is claimed in any way for taxation or insurance purposes of a business or organisation?  If not, it's home use".  This is not a legal opinion however.  This question gets murkier for shared use devices; if you're using a shared computer primarily as a home computer, but also using it for small business tasks (when you have another primary computer for business accounting/email/etc.) I don't have much of an answer either way.
