convert software to hardware config

beth
Hi,

can i somehow use my sophos vmware config to use on my new SG230 Hardware? I really dont want to rebuild the whole config. 
Will my Hardware licence work after applying the sw config?

thanks

    Configs are hardware agnostic so you can move the vm's config to an appliance just fine but with several caveats.

    1) The appliance receiving the config must have the same (or greater) number of ethernet ports in active use on the virtual machine. So if your vm had three vnic's in use (assigned IP's and/or used for cluster/HA), the appliance has to as well.

    2) Licenses do not move between software & appliance installs so have the appliance's license handy when you swap.

    3) If you have HA, it will not work between an appliance and vm.
