One way to do it is to create an updating policy with Sophos as primary source. Then export it (sauconf.xml) and include it in an installer package as described. This way your colleagues don't have to enter the credentials.

Hello razvan21,

you mean "home use", i.e. your colleagues will use it on their home-PCs and updates should be from Sophos? Please see how to create a standalone installer package and the links to exportconfig.exe and setup.exe contained therein.
