    I downloaded the file.  Installed, run it, and reached the webgui.  I entered the serial number that I was given, after a few clicks, it says almost there or something.  The final click left the page (webgui) unreachable.  I tried to return back to previous page, and did it once again.  Same thing happened.  I finally had to go back, and select 30 day trial.  After that, I was able to go into the webgui.  I went to the licensing area, and my license appears to be there, but it says you cannot have 2 30-day trials running.  I went into the sophos portal, and it shows another device, with another serial number, besides this.  But I don't recall having another instance.  I don't know how to delete that either.  

    Now I don't know whether it's the license issue, or if there's another instance of home trial running.  Or whether this is an evaluation copy of the commercial license.

    I guess, there was a mistake in this point. 

     finally had to go back, and select 30 day trial.  

    Actually you should not be able to start any FG+ Trial on a home license. Seems like with this process, you started a customer appliance. 

    Hence you cannot "change" / import the Home license.

     

    Home and the business appliance uses the same ISO.

    Like on your screenshot, i guess, you pressed the second option. 

    In that case, XG will start a new Trial with a new (business) SN. 

     

    I guess you have to reinstall XG :(

    It's ok to reinstall XG.  It takes a short while only.  Do I use the same serial number?

    You need to use the Serial, which Sophos sent you via Email.

    Hope I don't get that blank screen once again after entering Sophos Serial and choosing next.
