    Hi

    Ive been following this thread, and the feature request, but it dosn't seem clear as to where this is at

    I have a Sophos SG125 appliance that came with UTM 9 installed and an expired license that i am wanting ever so badly to run the XG Home on.

    I removed the SSD in the UTM and put in a fresh new SSD and an additional 2gb memory and tried the following

    1) Installed SFOS Hardware version, installs without a drama, but i was not able to apply my home license, in my instance there was already a serial applied, and the only option i had was to migrate that serial to XG (which must be the expired utm9 serial), or do a 30 day trial.

    What gets me though is how, when i removed the original HDD did it know about that serial?

    2) Then tried to install SFOS software version on a fresh ssd, upon booting of the ISO i immediately get "Detected Sophos Physical Device. Please get proper installation source."

     

    So with that in mind i gather

    1) You cannot install the software ISO (which is strange given that i put in a new SSD and it is effectively intel hardware anyway)

    2) You can install the Hardware ISO, but not apply the XG Home license.

    Anyone who has had success with this

    Strange, I've done this numerous times on appliances.  

    Trick has always been to blow out the partitions first, then run the software installer.  So for instance I will boot up gparted, blow out the partitions by creating a new volume, then boot up the software installer and off it goes.

    So would I be correct in assuming that with my XG85 I can take the ssd out, wipe it and replace, then install the software version of the Home edition whilst monitoring the process over the console cable?
    The XG85 doesn't have a VGA port and that is where I've been stuck. I'm concerned about bricking the unit with no way to access it.
