Since XG is still buggy as hell, why doesn't Sophos upgrade the UTM 9 home license to 100 for home use?

I had to cut back on a lot of things at home. I have 75 ips in use (VM's, crap load of wifi devices along with fire tv's, AP's, etc.) Hell it even counts my switches & AP's, grrrr.

Since XG is still buggy and from what I have read, not even ready yet, I have tried XG on a vm, and not impressed yet. Why doesn't Sophos just upgrade the licenses to 100. 50 devices is good for a family of 2, I have a family of 5 and, have additional ips for school ipads, phones, my personal tablets, work tablet, fire tv's and crap load of VM's for homelab use. 

I had to cut a lot of my vm's off due to the licensing, They allow 5 over, but still not enough.

Any thoughts on this?

EDIT: Left out that IP6 addresses are taking up just as much as ip4 address, Each device counts as 2 because of it.

  • you need to change you setup not to include the UTM as the default gateway, that wil reduce your licence count. Your suggestion of a change to licence count based on the failings of XG won't happen. XG is their current baby and Sophos do not appear to be taking any notice of bad critisism of their preferred product.
