UTM Home on Retired ASG 120 hardware

Is it possible to re-task a retired ASG 120 for home use using the free home license offered by Astaro/Sophos?  If so what is the method for wipeing and installing the home version on the old ASG?  I have tried installing (via the smart_installer thumb drive) the hardware appliance image and it wouldn't accept the home user license.  I then tried to install the software appliance via the smart installer and it wouldn't  install due to Sophos Hardware.

Any suggestions?  I would really like to recycle some ASG 120's that we upgraded for use at my mom, my father-in law and my mother-in law's homes  to have our own little backup cloud and file sharing network.

  • Up2Date will work fine with the software version, and you must install the software version in order for the home license to work.  The only thing you lose with the software appliance is the one-touch upgrade such as V8-to-V9 - you will have to install V9 from ISO.
