XG home license on SG125w?

Question

Hi fellows, 
 
 is it possible to activate my xg home license on an sg125w appliance? 
 for UTM9 i have to delete the /etc/asg file on the appliance to use the HW Appliance image with my sg125w. when i installed the sw image of the utm9, the nic order is not matching with the physical ports. 
 Is this the same problem with the xg OS? Can i use the internal WIFI Card of my appliance with the XG home license?

You cant install XG Home on a XG85, I've already tried and it fails as it has a 8GB HDD and the minimum requirement is 10GB. You need to use the XG105, this worked fine for me. 
 Not sure if home works with wifi, but if your an IT guy, drop the wifi and just use it as a firewall, buy yourself a ubiquiti AP AC Pro for wifi, the unifi management is way way better than the wifi on the sophos.

Hi Andreas, 
 
UTM9 currently allows you to install the software ISO on hardware appliances, but it requires some special effort - and as noted, a "w" model appliance would become just a standard software install, which doesn't support built-in wireless. So using a 125w, you could switch it to a software install, but it will no longer allow you to use the onboard wireless. 
 
The XG installer currently provides a tighter check, and doesn't allow users install software on a recognized appliance model (anything SG or newer) under any circumstances. We are planning on loosening this to use a similar method of checking used in UTM9. So this will be possible in future, but the same wireless restrictions will still apply.
