Network Security License on ASG220

Igal100
Our Network Security license for the ASG220 is about to expire in a few weeks.

According to the description: "This subscription enables the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) incl. pattern updates, DoS/Flood Protection, SSL & IPsec based VPN and Remote Access, Advanced Routing, WAN Link Balancing and detailed Network Security Reporting."

Does this mean that if we do not renew the license the VPN (and the rest of the services in the quote above) will stop working?

TIA

    That's correct. You need a valid license for these services.

    Thank you for clarifying.

    I can understand the reasoning behind subscriptions for Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, and their like, but I'm a puzzled as to why the VPN would stop working.

    Seems to me like this "feature" makes the Sophos much more expensive than its competitors.  My SonicWALL and ZyWALL, for example, provide IPSec VPN without the need for subscription.
