Limitations of the Home License

Hi everybody,

although the limitations of the Home License have been discussed quite a few times, I still want to put the information together and some things remain unclear for me. Therefore, this post. I have found so far that there are the following limitations for the Home Version:

  1. 6 GB RAM, 4 cores maximum of resources are used
  2. Hardware appliances are not eligible for a home license unless you "erase" them and reinstall the software license manually. However, built-in wireless will not work. Except of the wireless part, the appliances are fully functional
  3. Sandstorm will not be available
  4. No Auto-Updates (?)

What remains as a question are the following points:

  1. Can I use Sophos APs with the home license?
  2. Can I use Remote Ethernet Devices (RED) devices e.g. for my parents?

Thanks a lot for answers to my questions in advance or any corrections / additions to the listed limitations.

  • Hi Julia,

    auto-updates work for all functions of the XG home licence.

    If you have setup XG home for relatives you can also use the central site management software (limited number, not sure how  many XGs).

    Forgot, you can enable sandstorm but not configure it, so it sends data to Sophos is my understanding. I have it enabled on my firewall rules.
