Transition to Endpoint Security

pauls1

Hello and Greetings to Sophos team,

I'm using Sophos Home Edition for my Macbook Pro for past couples of months, recently I have upgraded to Version 8 which also runs smoothly. Now, my university computer department told me that I can also use the Endpoint Security for MAC (I mean the paid version of Sophos) if I like. So, I would like to ask your team

1. Do I need to uninstall Home edition first in order to install the university version?

2. The Home edition collects its updates via Sophos server (login Id and some invisible password); if I change the server location to university server will that work?

3. Is there any additional benefit that I can expect if I make this transition?

Please post your comments.

Best wishes

    Hi Bob,

    I appreciate your updates. Today I received Sophos Endpoint 8 MacOS X installation file, and failed an attempt to install it over the existing Sophos AV Home v8. It says 'another version of Sophos AV software, which is not compatible with this version, is already installed. You must remove that version before attempting installation again'. But as per our last chat followups, it should in principle work; only I might need to re enter University Sophos update server rather than 'Sophos'. Any comments?

    I have one more question, how much RAM is actually required/consumed by it, 512 or 256 MB? I get different figuares from different advertisements/reviews.

    Looking forward to hear you soon.
