XG appliance work with xg home use license?

Question

I am looking to purchase the XG appliance (only the appliance apparently - www.firewalls.com/.../sophos-xg-85-appliance-only.html) but want it only for home use. All the articles I've found talk about the home use license and a software version on non-appliance hardware. I know this sounds silly, but I want to make sure everything is in order prior to purchasing an appliance. Will the XG home use license work with the XG appliance or is the appliance only business use?

Hello polyphemus11 
 Yes, you can, read the complete thread on below URL.

 "You have to delete the partitions on the HDD first before the install will proceed. It's a safeguard against someone accidentally re-imaging it with the wrong installer. Delete the partitions first, and the software installer will then work on SG and XG appliances.
