New to Sophos Questions

I have heard great things about the Sophos FW, and I am considering buying one for my home lab. I found a XG 125 on ebay for a solid price, but if I have the hardware how do I get software upgrades? Is everything license based? I am just trying to get a solid FW for my home lab so I can separate my network from my Lab I use for work. I could purchase a consumer grade product but thought I would try something higher end than that, but the licensing is making me think twice.

You need to wipe the XG125 and use it as a Software Appliance, as XG Home is attached to a Software Appliance. So you can purchase a XG125 or something, else, which can run a Firewall. Prism can maybe…

there is a Home-use-license without costs.

i think it is possible to use XG125 with this license ... after some modifications.
