XG Firewall Home Use Edition on XG 86w

Hello BeEf,

Thank you for reaching out to the community, 

19.0 GA requires a minimum of 4 GB RAM. So, you can't upgrade the following models to 19.0 GA:

• XG 85, XG 85w, XG 105, and XG 105w
• SG 105, SG 105w
  
  > Yours is XG86w so that is supported !! 
  > Hardware installers and Software installers are different - Difference hardware are fine tuned accordingly to use the hardware capability. 
  
  
• Firmware and installer download links: https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000043162?language=en_US
  
• Sophos Firewall Home Edition: https://www.sophos.com/en-us/free-tools/sophos-xg-firewall-home-edition
• Install the downloaded image on your preferred hardware or virtual environment (Note: the installation will overwrite the previous operating system and all files).

Vivek JagadThanks for your quick reply. As the Software installer led to the above error I downloaded and installed the hardware installer which worked. However now the serial number is different from the one I received for my home license. So I am stuck at another position - installed the new firmware but are not able to use my home license. Is there a way to resolve this?

I believe the work around you are referring too will only work on 210's and above.

Software Images will require 4 GB RAM as well. So you could potentially load a V17.5 Image but are stuck on this platform until EOL of the Hardware. 

You need to wipe the disk before doing this as well.
