version 9.1.5

I help out a number of home-based Mac users, all of whom I have running Sophos. I recently had to do a tune-up for a station that I only get to about once or twice a year. I wasn't sure if I'd updated the Mac from Sophos 8 to 9, so I used "About Sophos Anti-Virus" to find out what version was installed. Oddly, it claimed it was Homee Edition 9.1.5. I say that's odd because the one running on my own Mac is 9.0.11. I even removed and uninstalled it on my Mac to make sure some kind of update was failing to install; nope, still ended up with version 9.0.11.

My Mac happens to be running OS X 10.9.3 and the other Mac was running 10.7.5, so I thought perhaps Sophs has a specialized version of Sophos for that OS. But I checked a couple of other stations running OS X 10.7.5 and OS X 10.8.5 -- they are all running Sophos 9.0.11.

So what is Home Edition 9.1.5, and why does it only show up on one system?

  • The Mac you upgraded was running a 'preview' version of the Home Edition.  I imagine a while ago you/someone downloaded 9.0.1 to see how that worked on the Mac (preview release for version 9) and the Mac hasn't updated since.  However when you got the updating working again (connect to the internet or switch on autoupdating having disabled it, etc.) the installation jumps from preview to preview (9.0.1 to 9.1.5).

    You got a taste of 9.1.5, you've seen the future - and lived.  :smileyhappy:
