Any idea when we can expect to see the Up2Date package for systems running 8.305?

@Joshua:
I have to agree with Bob that you were most likely undersized for your environment. For example, with all features enabled, a 220 is rated for 70-75 users max.
70-75 users? With only 1GB or RAM? With all features enabled? NO WAY!
We have only 40 users and had to disable 'dual scan' (and a lot of other things) to keep the system running smoothly. Once RAM and SWAP are over 85%, performance is degrading.
The problem is the RAM. Only 1GB of RAM. What are we talking about? That's the amount of smartphones today. And now V9 is coming out, they say for a 220 'Not recommended'. One year old... If I look around wheter it is possible to upgrade RAM, I see a lot of links refering to Astaro. It seems like those days it was possible. Nowadays (Sophos, American, managment, marketing, warranty void & money) there is little or no info.
PS: My laptop is over 6 year old and still running smoothly: more RAM and SSD.
PPS: If someone starts legal actions, let me know.

Nevertheless, the statement is clear and everybody should be aware of is: don't buy these devices (220, don't know about the other) as they are not designed for a decent/recent UTM. However, it is an interesting product as not all people have the skills to setup their own server and install the software version.
As you say, 2GB is minimum.
@Joshua. I feel your pain. We only have one box to manage... If we cannot come to acceptable agreement, we will add RAM ourselfes. What warranty can you loose? Worst case is a new device and you loose the discount to upgrade to the new 220. Well that's worth the risk and I don't know what will happen if one day you need to count on your warranty...
